Is the camera set to use the inferred trigger. This could be interfering with the wireless iTTL some how.

I don't know if your a member of NPS or NPPA but they had a deal going where they were set up in Louisiana working with photographers to repair and service cameras affected by the hurricanes.You may want to contact Nikon about this.

You can get a used Nikon D1X at a very affordable price now. I just purchased on from KEH camera in Atlanta for $2000.00. This will give you 6mp and quick AF and a well sealed body. I currently also own a D2H but wouldn?t rely on it's 4mp size for blow up's

You may want to check out the Carolina's Nature Photographers Web Site (which I am a member of)

South Mountain's state park about 45 miles west of Charlotte is a wonderfull site (Waterfalls,White Tail Deer, Black Bear, Bobcat, Turkey's are just a few of the things you may see). I am a professional photographer and live about 15 minutes and go there on a regular basis.

You could always shoot RAW and convert it later.

I bought one of these lenses when they first came out and quickly sold it. I'm a photojournalist and the lens just wasn?t quiet fast enough for me. I prefer something with a f/2.8 aperture but if all your doing is the occasional photography with this lens you'll be fine. I would suggest looking for a used 28-70 f/2.8 AF-S. You might want to try KEH in Atlanta.

I know this not exactly what your looking for but check this out. I just found this on B&H's web site.

 

Designed exclusively for combination with the world's most advanced 24x36mm digital camera backs, the new Horseman DigiFlex II utilizes all advanced features and functions of high-end digital camera backs. Together, they constitute an unbeatable tool for today's most demanding tasks. Performance, functionality, portability, virtually limitless system flexibility -- an SLR that now, with its own built-in CPU, elevates you to new heights of professionalism in digital photography.

 

 

 

Key Features

 

? Takes All Nikon F Mount Lenses

 

The DigiFlex II uses the F lens mount to provide the widest possible choice of lenses. From ultra wide angle to telescopic, from fish eye to shift lenses, you can now use practically any normal or special-purpose F-mount lens from any manufacturer (with the exception of a few lenses of very old design).

 

? SuportS Up To 114 Degree Wide Angle View

 

While keeping the standard F-mount flange back, the DigiFlex II's advanced body design permits ultra wide angle shooting with a maximum viewing angle of 114 degrees

 

? Compatible with Any Digital Camera Back with Hasselblad Mount

 

The Horseman DigiFlex II is the world's first 24x36mm camera exclusively designed for high-end digital camera backs. Any digital back equipped with Hasselblad mount can be used.

 

? Suitable for Multi-Shot Mode

 

The DigiFlex II is perfectly suitable for multi-shot digital backs or multi-shot mode such as 2-shot, 3-shot, 4-shot or 16-shot.

 

? Full 35mm Picture Size

 

The Horseman DigiFlex II gives you the full 24 x 36mm picture size in a CCD camera. When used with a digital back with 36x36mm frame size and 16 million pixels, there are approximately 2670 x 4000 active pixels per shot, for an extremely high resolution of about 10.68 million pixels.

 

? Motorized Shutter and Mirror Action with Solenoid Shutter Release

 

New features now found in the DigiFlex II include motor-powered shutter arming and mirror movement as well as electromagnetic (solenoid) shutter release. What's more, with the built-in CPU and new timing control, shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec can now be used. (Flash synchronization, however, works at 1/125 sec.)

 

? Special Electrical Contacts

 

The Horseman DigiFlex II is equipped with special electrical contacts for digital backs providing these contacts. Cordless interfacing gives those models the functionality and portability of a true 35mm SLR.
