Re: SB800, AB800 and D80
Okay I just tried it with the SB800 on camera to see if it would fire the AB and IT WORKED!!! Wow! I have never done this before and think it is the neatest thing since sliced bread! One problem, I think, is that I was using the Wein Safe Sync and the SB800 is a little loose on the hot shoe anyway but when I used it with the WSS every wiggle it made triggered the AB off. It didn't trigger the AB when I took the WSS off and just had the SB800 directly in the camera hot shoe. I am assuming that when I get that little adapter cord for the SB800 I can use the WSS on camera and plug the adapter into that right?? It shouldn't fire it off so easily then right? Actually I got to thinking and maybe it was because it was in "A" mode instead of "M".....hmmm....
One more thing is that the pop up flash did NOT go off. I never use that one anyway so I think maybe I had it shut off already....
Thanks again in advance.
