All my pants had holes in them from work so my mom bought me a few new pairs of jeans. I haven't opened any gifts yet but I'm guessing I'll get more cool shit the day after Christmas because I'll probably go up to Providence and do some shopping.

not that it matters much as if I need them to last longer or provide more power I have 8AA external packs to use on each flash.
[Dec 24,2009 3:57pm - the_reverend ""]
Eneloops are low discharge batteries and if left unused will have more power in them after 6 months then will Powerex batteries. However, if both are used immediately or shortly after charging Powerex 2500/2700NIMH would last longer since they have more power to start with.
I have both batteries and mainly use Powerex in my D300 grip & SB-900 flash. I also have a battery tester and test the extra batteries I take with me. If I didn.t do any charging before leaving I will always take at least 1 set of eneloops because they loose less charge just sitting around.
Normally, I use the eneloops for weather radios, LED flashlights & small lanterns that sit for long times between use & charge. nothing beats powerex 2700MAHs
[Dec 24,2009 4:00pm - the_reverend ""]
those external packs are worthless too if you get powerex 2700's. You will end up just melting your flash. Oh that's right.. nikon's flashing system is better than canon's. How could I forget.
[Dec 24,2009 4:39pm - porphyria ""]
Canon speedlights work okay for me, I'd rather use actual strobes over speedlights for anything I do. Besides, a picky-ass bitch could find something wrong with Nikon speedlights if they wanted to.
It's recommended not to shoot more than 20 continuous flashes. I almost never shoot at full power with my speedlights, nor would I ever spray more than 2-4 shots at a time anyways. The packs I mainly need to extend the life.
[Dec 24,2009 4:54pm - the_reverend ""]
I have TONS of problems with nikon's flashes. I'm just glad that I don't use canon cause I would find even more things wrong with them I'm sure. I usually shoot manual 1/16 since I shoot ISO 1600 for everything. I would probably never use strobes. I would just use flashes and CLS unless I was in a studio. Still, I would wish that the strobes did CLS. I have another SB-900 on my xmas list.

saw this somewhere:
"If you have your flash hooked up to an external power source like a Quantum Turbo and shoot burst mode, Canon's set up will shut the flash down if it gets to a certain temperature. Nikon's will not....yep....it will physically melt. Now, whether this happens in a mixed manufacture mode, I don't know. Depends where they put the circuitry to take care of all that.....however, because they fixed it in the SB900, I have to assume it's all in the flash."
"".....however, because they fixed it in the SB900" - you give too much credit to Nikon for the SB-900 melt down fix. All what they did they installed a temperature sensor and logic that will shut down the flash when the tube/head gets too hot. This logic can be disabled and the SB-900 will melt down as quickly as the SB-800 or even faster.
The SB-900 has a bigger flash head, but otherwise is not much better than the SB-800 as far as the heat resistance or flash "rugedness" is concerned."

[Dec 24,2009 5:30pm - the_reverend ""]
you are right about the nikon temp thing. It's great and sucky that you can fry your SB-800's easily. But that is wrong about the temp-sensor. The themo is in the battery compartment and not on the tube. The SB-900 turns off way before it would over heat. Kind of pisses me off.
porphyria said:I got a PW FlexTT5 so I could trigger my strobes + have a speedlight still connected to the camera.

So you can control different flashes and change their modes from that? Like say you want
1) flash/strobe at M 1/32
2) flash/strobe at iTTL -2.5
3) flash/strobe at M 1/64
and then you change your mind and want
1) flash/strobe at M 1/8
2) flash/strobe at A - 2/3
3) flash/strobe at iTTL + 1.3
etc... with just changing things on the back of your camera?
[Dec 24,2009 6:07pm - porphyria ""]
ideally yes, but for me, just to trigger the strobes. of course the 580 connected to the camera would still maintain ETTL, ect. You're suppose to be able to control modes/power wirelessly to all your speedlights but supposedly there's an issue with RF interference from the speedlight which causes misfires. Not sure if that's been taken care of yet, I heard they were supplying something to wrap around your flash as a temporary solution but I didn't get one with my TT5 so maybe it's fixed. I would need all my other PW's to be either the FlexTT5's or the mini's with hot-shoe connectors on the top... I use 4 Plus II's and a MultiMax.
