Hi Andy,
The R1C1 was my original choice but I learnt that its used with cameras that don't have a built in flash. The R1 is designed to be used with cameras that have a built in flash (I'm running a D90 at the moment). The R1 is for macro only and cannot be used as an all purpose flash. I discovered that I could slave SB-600s off my D90 and position them at various angles to achieve a similar effect. Does the iTTL work out the flash settings for the slave flashes on an SB600 even though its zoom head only goes to 85mm and I'm running a 105mm Micro? Or would I have to adjust the flash compensation manually?
I'll post my first efforts using just 1 SB600 diffused through a light cube in the next couple of days
