the flash I am eyeing is a bit steep $ 500 that is like a nice botik pedal already....hahahaha kidding aside.
Right now, I am just buying stuff that I can afford like that lens and accessories.... as of now, I only do shoot outside during daytime a lot (when I do my daily walk)...when I get bored and tired of shooting at that location... and budget permits... I would get that flash.
...really appreciate all your input guys. This hobby is F U N.
ha ha ...just got me the nikon sb 900 and that was worth an ETHOS man. i know how you feel but check out strobist.com and see how people use their flash with a regular DSLR.
It makes a lot of sense.
Its all about light and how to harness, add and manipulate it.
Newbie in strobie....here is my take on bounce flash.
Meaning the flash head was swiveled towards a wall and the light was bounced on the subject.
