Camera-Nikon D70(got it a month ago),Flash-JTL 3 strobe,Hotshoe mounted adapter w/ flash cord/I am haveing a hard time getting good shots useing my flash lights, I find the shots are better when I set it to 3200,or 6400,but they are NOT good shots,I need to find a way to cut down on the wasted shots, I was considering getting a Polaris Flash meter,any suggestions,and oh yes,Im not looking to pay $500.00 for a meter,and I might add that these lights worked great with my Minolta 7Hi's,Im just haveing a hard time finding the right settings for the D70.

Wow,.... when I saw the subject line, I was thinking it must be a Canon.. Go figure.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

But,...apparently the Nikon flash isn't soooo ooooo ooooo perfect after all eh? LOL

Simple solution,.. shoot in manual mode, watch your subject distance....that may take a little getting used to, but it is the most consistant way to shoot with on camera flash (or off camera)...that I have found regardless of which camera system you have..

Have fun learning.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
