why is nikkor lens more expensive than an EF?
:think: :dunno:

Wondering that also.
U intend to switch camp?
But their flashes are relatively cheaper than canon and offer more features.:devil:

I love Nikon CLS. If Canon can improved on their Wireless Speedlite Transmitter system, probably they can win a lot of fans.

As of now, I'm still happy with the wireless system. A full manual control instead of E-TTL will be greatly appreciated.

ic.. u not using the china made radio triggers..

 

[JPLim]

Just wondering whether it is ok to use the normal alcohol based LCD monitor cleaner for my UV filter cleaning.
I have left my non-alcohol lens cleaner in SG and my lens UV filter got some fingerprints now at JB.
I only have the LCD monitor cleaner with me now at JB.
Anyone tried that before?

 

[RyanG]

ic.. u not using the china made radio triggers..

Nope. Using the built-in commander. Still thinking if it's feasible to get those radio triggers. Sounds a bit stupid since I have the built-in commander. Haha! :bsmilie:

but with the built in trigger, can u still hv control on the slave?

 

[JPLim]

lol, using normal dish washing soap???
With water?
But how about the water mark?
Just wipe it with microfibric cloth?

 

[RyanG]

Can do manual zoom and flash exposure compensation.

On-cam can control flash ratio. Say I have Flash A and B. I can set in-cam to say that Flash A over-powering Flash B and vice-versa and also flash exposure compensation can be done in-cam.

UV filter right?
