The nice thing about the SB25 is its delayed slave mode (neither SB24 nor SB26 have this). When this mode is engaged the flashgun ignores metering-preflashes, thus effectively, a SB25 can be used ...

Well, I know it is not the same thing exactly but I have no fewer than 3 SB25s, nominally TTL-enabled but they do not work in that mode on my D70; D90; D300 or D750. Nonetheless the SB25 is still ...

Done that, read the book, bought the T-shirt!

Well, I am a self-confessed D750 aficionado. My D750 does everything I want it to although I bought it mainly for its wonderful low-light performance and superlative autofocus. They are very cheap ...

If shipping abroad for repair is an option for the OP, Fixation has a good reputation: https://www.fixationuk.com/

That was a helpful post Iljitsch that the OP should find useful. As to masking out the onboard flash, one can make an IR-pass filter (it's the IR component that does the triggering). Good materials ...

D750; Sigma 105mm; SB400 + SB95 flashguns. F11, ISO=400. Photo taken ± 3 days ago This is Celia spider she has been living in our conservatory for the past 3 or 4 months and has helped keep it ...

Yes, I won't buy anything else nowadays. Never encountered any overheating issues in any of my flashguns, nor indeed any other kit.

I think you need to be in one of DPRs Canon forums or perhaps the retouching forum. Click on 'Forums' in the top menu bar for a list.

Well, aeons ago manufacturers used to put a red dot on the lens barrel to indicate focus alignment point for infrared. Now no longer the case. I was fully prepared to set up some tests with charts ...

I am not challenging you but interested in why you use the phrase 'of course'? I deliberated on wavelengths for quite a long time before settling on 720nm. As to workflow for lenses I simply tried ...

I only ever take one camera and one lens when travelling. I really don't want to cart a lot of photographic clobber about although I do take a small flashgun as well. If I take my DX  camera the ...

Thank you. The bar is called 'De Prins' and is on the corner of the Prinsengracht and Leliegracht, close to the Anna Frank house: https://deprins.nl/ It was my local for 10 years.

Thanks for the kind words Pantechnic. Molly would be delighted you like her photograph. Unfortunately, she passed over the rainbow bridge many decades ago. By the way, Zandvoort is a Dutch coastal ...

:-) Sorry - I could not resist!

It's a kind of postprocessing I have always enjoyed - even in wet chemistry and film days. I would not even bother trying to do this in-camera: way too limiting. @OP here are a few examples: Me, ...

I don't personally have a D7200 but I think it is a lot of camera for not too much money, especially if you buy secondhand. I buy all my kit secondhand these days - not from Joe Bloggs on Ebay but ...

OK, good idea - here's mine: Sheba and I :-)

That is so right Bob. Personally I barely understand the problems some people claim with regard to camera size. I've got very small hands for a man but I'm perfectly happy with my big 6x6 film ...

So would I, without a shadow of doubt.
