SB400 + SC29 + D40 question

http://photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00QEX2

clipped from photo.net I have all the above. I got the SC-29 after doing a search (not only here ) and concluding I would be able to utilize the AF-assist of the SC-29 on the D40 with the SB400 attached. (my goal is to use the SB400 on a bracket, with my old SB26 as off-to-the-side flash with it’s slave function.)

Using your flash’s guide number

http://cameradojo.com/2008/07/19/using-your-flash%E2%80%99s-guide-number/

clipped from cameradojo.com If you have ever shopped for a flash or read a review, you may have noticed a section of the spec called the guide number or GN. While this value is a measurement of power that the flash has and allows you to compare flash models, is this number useful to you at all? In this article we dig into the guide number and see how we can use this number help us dial in our flash and camera settings using some math instead of just guessing and retrying until you get what you want. Using the information presented in this article you should be able to use the guide number to calculate the best f/stop setting as well as determine the maximum range that your flash can be effective at.

clipped from www.bythom.com This article applies to all Nikon-based digital SLR bodies (D1, D1h, D1x, D2h, D2hs, D2x, D2xs, D3, D40, D40x, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D100, D200, D300, S1, S2, S3, S5 Pro, 14n, 14nx, and SLR/n). It probably also applies to other DSLRs, as well, but since I don’t test them I won’t speak to applicability of this information for them.

clipped from www.luminous-landscape.com This has lead to the recent development of several different devices whose purpose is to concentrate the light output of a flash head so that it has a greater reach. My research turned up what I regard as the best of these, Walt Anderson’s� Better Beamer available from Art Morris’ Birds as Art web site. Art is one of the world’s preeminent bird photographers.
