Good day to all you Nikoneers. ------------------------ 12YR OLD 80-200 DESIGN The 12 year old optical design doesn't mean that it's tired and worthless. What I really wanted to say was that the 12 year old design could probably be topped by the new AF-S optical design. From the results I've seen, I think the newer lens performs better. ------------------------ SB-26 slave Robert pointed out that the SB-26 had a slave sensor. Well, besides the slave sensor, my SB-26 also came with a slave. It does remote voice controlled adjustments, with full mobile control. Doesn't come for free though. ...just kidding. Seriously now, I think the SB-26 outperforms the SB-28 with its ability to be triggered remotely without any add-ons. If TTL is required, use the SU-4. Or did I read some post that says the SU-4 is only for the SB-28. With the SB-26 it's easier to make sure if you have the flash mode set correctly by feeling the position of the mode switch. The SB-28's soft buttons require you to look at it for confirmation. WARNING! Never forget to check your flash mode with the SB-28. Also, the SB-26 automatically zooms to a widest of 24mm and the flip down wide flash adapter allows it to be manually zoomed between 20mm and 18mm. Just like the SB-28. ----------------------- AF-S ZOOMS I heard someone complain about some gritty zoom ring action. 28-70 or 80-200, I think both have this feeling because of the weather seals. Or maybe the paint used. After some use the feeling disappears or at least lessened. My 80-200 even had a very stiff, gritty tripod collar whe I got it new. It has now definitely smoothened out. Happy shooting. Carlo _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
