tom_ahlers Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I have a D100 and two chorded SB-50DX strobes. The strobe manual's fine print recommends not using the SB-50DX for multiple flash setups because the "slave" will go into standby. Nikon technical help desk says you can't utilize TTL with two SB-50DX strobes on a D100; you must use manual. But SB-50DXs will give only full power on manual--you can't select fractional output and you can't override auto standby. What is a good dual flash setup for D-100 for closeup photography? Preferably with TTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 SB-28dx or SB-80dx. Actually I 'd choose an SB-80dx or SB-28dx as master and then use an older SB-24/25/26/28 as the slave as the exposure "thinking" is done by the relationship between the master and the camera.<P>On the other hand: Have you actually tried using the SB-50 combination?<P>You might also consider trying the Nikon SU-4 smart slave eye that enables cordless TTL slaving.

craig_bridge Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 None of the Nikon digitals do multi-flash TTL. Single flash TTL on digitals relies on preflashes. For multi-flash applications on Nikon digitals, I drop back to manual mode flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
