imagine carry a Metz 60, with Pro body and Pro lens, after two hour shoot will be half dead already.......:hung:

use quantum turbo.no doubts about it.

the recharge rate, the amount of dazzling full power flashes it delivers...
you wouldnt want to look at anything else.

downside:it's bigger than the nikon's SD-dunno-what external batt pack.

when i covered my friend's wedding for fun, i actually managed to shoot her handshaking with every single guest when the banquet ends.(60 tables)

this was my best gift to her as her official photographer didnt cover much of the handshake/hug shots.

seriously i think most wedding photographers would not be taking all those handshaking shots
is a pick and shoot thing isnt it?

imagine got 100 tables .. :sweat:

My dad and I used to be doing that.. F4S and F3 + MD-4 bodies... heavy but satisfying.. ;p

Not that don't carry, cuz don't know how to use manual flash anymore!!! :bsmilie:

Where got need to use manual flash? Just use auto lah.. set the aperture to the sweet spot on the lens and you're ready to go. ;p

that was THEN.... anyway, with film you don't shoot like a Uzi, most of the time you can take your time slooooooooooowly shooooooooooooot, not so tiring too.

Got it. working well so far the Yongnuo power pack with my sb900.

 

[angkorseet]

looks like JL-Photo.net's Yongnuo battery pack has no issues with SB-900..

question:

if we use these 3rd party packs, and it blows the sb900, i'm pretty sure warranty wont cover right?

Abit expensive... considering East Gear is selling for S$69/- :think:
