i found a craigslister that's selling the sb-700 for 275 including the ml-l3 remote and a diffuser...i'm asking for details and negotiating, i might jump on it if it's good, but as always i'm very skeptical of CL

That Kenchan learns pretty quickly, so I woudn't get too discouraged

That's a really good price for an SB-700. That little remote comes in handy also.

But if you were taking a verticle pictures though, you wouldn't be able to bounce it off a ceiling would you? It will only rotate upwards correct?

Thats why I would still suggest trying to find a used SB-600.

Yeah, that's the one downside. I got one for $80 new, so I couldn't pass it up. I just slap on a diffuser I made if I'm shooting vertical and it seems to work ok. I'm months behind on images, but I'll try to get an example shot up.

Yea, I would probably even went for it if it was just $80.

Yeah, it's light and I can bounce it, plus it runs on separate battieries. Can't really complain. Since I don't use flash much, it is perfect for me.

hey phelan, while i was taking my picts last night i was thinking of you and made this shot just for you.

i even illumiated kare-panman's face with a incandescent flashlight to give the nice orange color to differentiate from the rest of the pict.

hey Nitex- i used 45mm f/13 1meter away. my DOF was 37cm total and focused on the WildWilly's front bumper. i measured about 18cm forward and aft of the bumper so this is why the green thing with a stupid look is still barely in focus.

i wanted to ensure that the WILD DAGGER text, kare-panman (the orange/brown faced thing) and the jeeps' front tire were all in focus.

phelan · 08-05-2011, 12:42 PM

baaahahahahahahahah i love that shot

now get rid of the carpet so i can fully enjoy the fuzzy kare-panman! haha!

i'ts even more hilarious with the slightly out of focus foreground looking like he's popping up going "wtf?"
