I've been playing again....

Now that I have a second SB-600 flash (1 SB800, 2 SB600s), I've been trying some off camera experiments.

Good lighting, been trying with the two that I have, a BB 800 and a SB600. Haven’t been able to get them to sync up yet. I don't seem to be pushing the right buttons.

Read the manual for the SB800, it'll tell you what to do, then just start experimenting! And thanks!
