inquiry about buying a flash

[nutShark_23]

---

Hi all,

I wud love to hear ur advice on this. I often use the 35mm F1.8 on my nikon D5000, and i also have the dual kit lens.. i dont have a flash (and don't know how to use one).. I love shooting group pictures (esp indoors), so, i figured that i need to buy one.. Does my 35mm fit with an external flash? (i mean okay ra cla na combo?)..
what flash shud i get? kinda leaning sa nissin Di622 or sa mga yongnuo para dli pud kaau heavy sa wallet.

Thanks!

yes, bro okay rah ang Nissin Di622mkII mao akong workhorse ron.. I still have my SB600 pero nah semi-retired nah back up nalng (saving up para ako pa check up, can't wait for it to revive)

f.y.i. group pictures lisod kung mag fixed lens rah ka (unless naa ka space ma backing.an)... mas maayo ang kit lens (18-55)

Ambot lang ha pero basta pinaspasay na ang shoot, naay tendency mo overheat ang Di622 Mk2. Dugay na siya mo cycle bisan pa'g ilisan nimo ug bag ong batteries.

I had the di622 MkII before and it was value for money. It was a very powerful flash, even powerful than my sb700. The issue I had is compatability with flash triggers that's why I sold it.

I'm using YN CTR301P with no problem.

Hi all,

i have an additional question. so far, i can say that Nissin Di622 markII is my 1st choice. But then, here comes YN 468 ii at a slightly cheaper price. Will I go for the Nissin or YN? =))

Nissin Di622 mark II had good reviews not sure about yn. You may check it's review in speedlight.net, weight the pros and cons then decide which cons you can live with. it's a matter of preference and budget.

The money you will save if you buy the YN may be used to buy its popular affordable triggers like the rf 602 or CRT-301P for strobing.

I was eyeing for Di622 mk2 sauna, but pag-adto nako sa shop nahutdan diay sila, ang naa for canon is YN468 and di466, i got the YN468 and eventually rf-602.. para nako nga newbie, pare-pareho ra sila - mo flash xD that's what I said pag-uli nako, mao ra man ni akong gi need, makuha ra diay sa lower price. dili man sad ko pro ug gamitan so payts ra hehe

pero naa rajud na' nimu. suwayi nalang sa shop nga imong adto-an bro, basin available imong mga napili-an.

+1, experienced ka nga ni misfire? naka try ko not sure if related ba kay niinit na siya or lain ang reason so far ok paman sad ako experienced ani nga flash.... ang di lang jud nako ganahan kay dili magamitan ug external battery pack para atleast dugay ma lowbat... kusog kat mosuyop sa battery mao mag dala jud ko pirmi ug ubay2x nga spare battery...

try pixelpro or sa macys or sa photoshop if wala gihapon pwede man siguro pa reserved daan...

quick question, kinsa naka try ug flash sa CDR king? pwede ba ni siya magamit sa strobing? dili ba ni maglisud ug sync if mag gamit ug RF nga trigger? naa koy nakit-an nga mga review pero dili man naka RF...



1,880.00 ang price so ok siguro ni pang aditional flash sa strobing....
