Thread: OK Dilema with a speed light

there's plenty around just would prefer to buy in oz rather than hong kong...if need be I will buy from the states.

i shoot a lot in manual anyway but would prefer not to go that route. i have had the pleasure of using the 800 thanks to derek it is a nice size and easy to use

ok so I have brought one....through cameras direct they were the best price. and everyone offering a price under 700 was pretty much warrenty through them as they are I would imagine a grey improter......still it was buy here through a company that had an australian office for under 550 or buy here through a big chain such as camera warehouse for around 700/750 and have a nikon warrenty..........or buy from the US or HK and have well no warrenty.

$538 for the 800 plus I brought some better AA batteries with a charger as well
so all up it was just a smidge over $600 including the postage.

I hope I have made the right choice

Did you buy 5 or 10 batteries? You'll need 5 in the flash, 4 is not anywhere near the same cycle time

I think its 4.....I had no idea how many batteries it took I juct choose them from the add accessories on a drop down menu....


I asked you about your battery pack and you ignored me

No I didn't, you must have forgotten. You even replied - OK Dilema with a speed light

I didn't see that battery bit..........

great so I have brought these with the flash https://www.camerasdirect.com.au/ind...recharger.html this was the most expensive of the two options I had

but its only 2000 mha it will still work? I'm assuming it just wont cycle as quick for the flash or prehaps last as long and I only have 4 so I guess I have to go back and get another 4 or maybe even 8
