It's a very good flash and not a bad price at all. It will work with Nikon's off camera flash system (CLS) with both of the bodies you mention.

Thanks - I will take a look.

Thank you Al. The weather is just not up to it, to try and recreate something like this, but it's one to think about if we get some consistent decent weather.

This is the reply I received. "Hey! The lighting was - the sunlight. Correction in Camera Raw Nothing else was not. That is, a beautiful girl and beautiful perspective, no more secrets :)" So none the wiser really...

Ok, I can see now - she is stretching into the light - but the transition from shadow to light is so smooth - hence perhaps Jonathan's comment "LOT of retouch......"

I used it this weekend. I'm. I am not a strobist, so can't judge with other softboxes. It is well made, easy to pop up and down, seems sturdy enough. It provided diffused light across a decent range - but as I say, I'm not experienced, so nothing to compare to. The only issue I had was the...

Well it's arrived - will get a test out this weekend.
