Hi all,
I've been toying with the idea of a multi-flash setup for macro work for some time now. The itch started when I saw Nikon's R1C1 being wireless. But the drawbacks of the tiny flash units (SB-R200 which are about GN10, ISO100, in metres) are that you can't mount it on hotshoes and fire it on-camera.
I'm wondering if there are any similarly sized flashes that ARE shoe-mountable, and with adjustable power settings. At the moment, the closest I've got are my 2 SB-30's at GN16 (ISO100 in metres) with adjustable output: 1/1, 1/8, and 1/32. If I can rig it to be near the front of my lens, I can trigger them in manual mode using RF triggers. But I'm just wondering, y'know, if there are third parties that have managed to reverse-engineer Nikon's iTTL, made it tiny, given it a hotshoe, and selling it cheap(er). ;p
Thanks in advance for all input!
