I had one of my many brain dead moments. I just bought the Stofen Omni Bounce and while it worked lovely inside, this Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:59:23 GMT Mediasavant http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44477 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44477 Hi Patrick, A question and a thought (and my apologies if the question has been answered): What are you bouncing against outdoors? Indoors you have other Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:51:18 GMT Karl http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44476 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44476 One of the great features of the D70 is being able to sync the flash at 1/500th; perfect for outdoor fill flash. Here's my usual method with my D70/SB600.

I appreciate your comments and will give serious consideration to the 35mm so many of you mentioned.

After being told it would be weeks to months to get it from the large suppliers my favorite small Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:45:23 GMT Jim Robinson http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44473 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44473 I also have the 18-200 and relly like it. I bought the Nikon 50mm 1.8, and it's pretty good, but for DX cameras, it is just a bit long to use as a normal lens.

My favorite for that usage is the 50mm F/1.4D AF Nikkor. It's amazing capturing wine bottle labels in a room illuminated by a single candle.

There are a number of variations f1.8 or f1.4 with Tue, 07 Jul 2009 04:05:45 GMT John L Rice http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44470 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44470 Hi Gary, I have Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 and a 20mm f/2.8 lenses and I like then both. Often the 20mm isn't fast enough for a lot of indoor shots without a flash but Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:41:40 GMT ab7rk@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44469 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44469 Hello, group; I am currently using the 18-200 mm (f 3.5-5.6 G ED) Nikon lens with my D70 and am very happy with it. I am thinking about picking up a faster, Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:18:18 GMT Pat Henry http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44468 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44468 Sandy,   That was EXACTLY my problem. If I stepped back and thought about it (which I didn't), I would have figured it out. Thanks so much!

It works great inside; nice even light with the ambient light, but outdoors, Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:56:16 GMT Pat Henry http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44464 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nikon-D70/message/44464 Okay, thanks!   I am using the Nikon D70S with the SB-600 attached.
