Lello;

You did not pay attention to the second part of my reply. Just turn off the D80's (When you get it, hopefully in mater of days), flash. Use a off camera hotshoe flash sync cable (These are cheap and last a life of useful service including macro etc). Use a cheap and not a TTL flash on this (If cable is TTL, that hopefully is for other situations). Now everything is manual and your other flashes will fire perfectly with the first shutter curtain, so no problem what so ever.

Christine's partially dampening the pre flash light is also smart. However due to under exposed reading of light, your on camera's flash will probably shot at max out put that if right for the given situation, should cause no harm or other wise you may over expose by fire of this flash.

Its great to have Don here. My endless solute.
