First off, selecting a flash is way more confusing then I would have ever thought. With that being said, I think I did ok when I narrowed my seach down the options Ill get to in a bit. Im aiming to get a budget minded setup, but Im not lookin to have the cheapest on the market. I will be using Cactus V4's for my trigger/recievers. When it comes to the flashes, Id like somethin a little cheaper than the SB600. I have come up with these options,
Vivitar DF383
VIVDF383NIK Vivitar DF383 Digital TTL Shoe Mount Power Zoom /Swivel /Bounce Auto-Focus Flash for Nikon TTL, Guide Number 45m (147')
How does this rate vs. the 285HV? How about vs the SB600? This one has a control panel on the back, but I cant find anything about variable power. Whats the deal? Also, Im not completely sure this will work with the Cactus' setup. Anyone know for sure?
Lumopro
LumoPro LP120 Manual Flash
The only disadvantage I can see with this is that is fully manual. And, if I switch to an SU800 for my trigger, Ill still be adjusting it manualy whereas the DF383 can be found with i-TTL compatibility.
Any guidance is appriciated, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
