I picked up a couple last week at my Local Best Buy for $220 as I'm building a little strobist outfit. Next day they'd sold out... pixiepearls wrote in post #11906368 I got my SB-600 for $200 which i thought was pretty cheap right? Just picked up a used 17-55 Nikkor from B&H for $900 (rating of 9) WOOT!!!! Can't wait for MONDAY! GAH!! I luvs me some wide angles. Incredible lens - I had mine on sale at PN and then I found out that the three primes I bought to replace it were not as good optically and were heavier too! ~Peter

monk3y Totally Saturated More info | Feb 24, 2011 18:07 | #833 jetta-the-hut wrote in post #11906130 why are sb-600's so expensive, i'm thinking i'd be ok with just about any flash i could bounce, i dont need all the extra setting and so fourth, i dont think i'd ever use the remote trigger or strobist or anything like that. And another weird thing is the sb-28dx is selling for the same price as the sb-600???? just get the Nissin Di-622 MKII for $150 or so

I dunno I find all flashes too expensive..that's why I have a Manual yongnuo flash that I bought for $60 ![]() ![]() why? coz I don't think I need a flash with the D700... yeah yeah ![]() ![]() ![]() I have the YN560 as well but it's still manual. I would only consider it as a slave unit.
