  1. <p>I have used a 50 AF-1 on a D70s. iTTL, iTTl-bl seemed to work well. I could not get the CLS system to work but I think that was a function of the D70s. I didn't work at it much because I had no need CLS at the time - I just used a radio slave in manual mode. The flash worked well for me until I dropped it down the stairs..after that not so much.</p>

    <p>I'm not sure about the 16 mm DX coverage. I think the 50 AF-1 is 18 mm with the built in diffuser in place..the 44 AF may be similar. </p>

  2. <p>I'm pretty sure the d5200 supports iTTL (I don't own one). From the reviews I see on the web, the YN560 will not support iTTL exposure control. One way to tell is if the flash hot shoe has only a single contact (or post).. if it has only one contact, then it is very likely a manual flash.</p>

    <p>I have a YN460 and a YN565EX. The YN460 is a manual flash and the YN565EX does support iTTL.</p>

    <p>To use the either flash manually with my D70s, I use a relatively inexpensive radio trigger (Blazzeo MegTrig SLT4). A radio transmitter slides onto the hot shoe on the camera and the receiver slides onto the hot shoe of the flash.</p>

    <p>Another option is to use the built in optical slave of the YN560 and use the pop-up flash on your d5200 to trigger the YN560. Select the flash mode to be S2 (or S1 - I can't remember which it is), put the camera in manual mode, pop up the flash, adjust the flash power of the D5200 to be very low so that it won't affect (or have little affect on the final image). I've only used this method indoors..I'm not sure how well it works outside in bright sun.</p>

    <p>Regardless of the method used, you will have to control the exposure with a combination of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and flash power.</p>
