I did get all three flashes synced up and firing. When manuals for flash units are 80 pages, you know you are in trouble..<br /><br />your fan, joesonomaholidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997845249393363921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477545676435586498.post-50323957029714168252009-08-04T20:34:52.998-05:002009-08-04T20:34:52.998-05:00ahhh ... have you tried setting the commander mode...ahhh ... have you tried setting the commander mode to manual and adjusting the flash output there? I think if you're setting the commander mode to TTL the camera is expecting the lens to communicate distance information to determine the flash output. Since you're not using a lens that communicates that to the camera, my best guess is that the commander mode in manual should fire the flashes no matter what the camera thinks the lens is saying. Give it a try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045667364810083232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477545676435586498.post-34364297785549277642009-08-04T20:20:02.529-05:002009-08-04T20:20:02.529-05:00Yes I understand that - and with the modern nikon ...Yes I understand that - and with the modern nikon leneses attached i.e 18 -70 ai-s it works just as you described in your 2 flash article. But when I putr on an older nikon lens that dosnt have the elctronic connections to the camera, commander mode does not work, and whn I do get a flash menu command that fires the flash, the 600 or 800 do not flash SO I put the 800 on the camera and tried many combos to get the 600 to act as a slave =- and vise versa... nothing so far...sonomaholidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997845249393363921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477545676435586498.post-77493038737425234402009-08-04T20:05:55.764-05:002009-08-04T20:05:55.764-05:00@sonomaholiday: set your D70 (Custom Setting 19) t...@sonomaholiday: set your D70 (Custom Setting 19) to Commander Mode. Set both flashes to Remote. Then, set each flash to Group A, Channel 3. You can control the amount of output from the flashes by going back into the D70 flash settings and selecting TTL or Manual. Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045667364810083232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477545676435586498.post-6813061639840274272009-08-04T16:35:48.875-05:002009-08-04T16:35:48.875-05:00Thank you so much for the 2 flash info. The manual...Thank you so much for the 2 flash info. The manuals sometimes forget to show you how to actually program the electronics to get this or that result. I have a question - same outfit d70 and the sb800 and 600 - with an older nikon 50 mm with an extension tube, I figured out how to get the camera flash working, also how to attach either flash and get it working, but I cant seem to get any wireless flash system going at all. Am I missing a setting?<br />thank you, Joesonomaholidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997845249393363921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477545676435586498.post-83339037449422170812008-05-07T03:39:00.000-05:002008-05-07T03:39:00.000-05:00Nikon D70 Demo<A HREF="http://digitalcame.blogspot.com/2008/05/nikon-d70-demo.html" REL="nofollow">Nikon D70 </A>DemoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
