There is nowhere to plug a sync cord into an SB-600 or a D3000.Well, with the D3000, you will need something to fire it. SU-800 would be my recommendation...that or get a long sync cord. If you had a D70(s), D80, or D90, or above you would be able to fire it using CLS wirelessly using the built in flash. D3000 and D5000 don't have this built in so you need either the SU-800, a sync cord, or a camera upgrade. You can get some cheap ebay flash triggers, but you lose TTL, and I personally find TTL too useful to do without.
You don't need an PC sync cord. It's just one of the ways to trigger on off camera speedlight.why do you need a pc sync cord? like on the cheapie ebay wireless flashes

An SU-800 costs $250 (new) and isn't a speedlight, just a device that transmits an infrared signal. Being infrared, it's limited to line of sight.
I'd spend those dollars on a hand held light meter like that can measure flash' like a Sekonic L-308S.
There are accessories you can get though like the Nikon AS-15 for the camera hot shoe:
nikon AS-15
and a similar device for the SB-600 foot that will let you use a PC sync cord.
Another good source for some of this kind of stuff is www.flashzebra.com.
It's been quite a while since I last used iTTL.
Yep. There is a reflection just to the right of the Summit decal of the 45" umbrella and speedlight. The center of the umbrella is just at eye level.hum I can see one large one on the right, i'm guessing there was one on the left as well and another above?

You can still have TTL.There is nowhere to plug a sync cord into an SB-600 or a D3000.Well, with the D3000, you will need something to fire it.

Is there any advantage to using a pc cord over something like the cactus v4 triggers?
