2 Questions
 
1. Does anyone here use radio triggers for flash besides the pocket wizards?

2. What's your wide angle lens?

Thanks.

1. i use the cactus wireless flash triggers, they are cheap and work. pocket wizards are the shit but mad over priced, there are alot of other options out there. one that i have been looking and thinking of getting are the microsync flash triggers

1) I don't use a trigger. Nikon's creative lighting system can wirelessly trigger flashes with the onboard flash, so don't really need that. My roommate has a really slick little hotshoe trigger that slaps on to the bottom of the flash. It's triggered by flashes of light. Works really well for older flashes.

2) I use a Sigma 10-20.

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to pick up the cactus V4's. I've got the 580ex II and a 430ex. I'm going to buy a set of stands and umbrellas and try to make that work.

the canon 580 works the same way by switching it over to slave and have it go off by a primary flash, but wireless flashing > slave flashing


jay, this is what you are going to want to get.
