[QUOTE="skyace888, post: 818689, member: 53185"] Hi all! I'm planning to shoot an event soon at a venue in the evening with both outdoor and indoor space. Planning to bring my Z8 and Z6II along with the 50 F1.8, 24-70 F4, and 70-200E F2.8 w/adapter. I'll be photographing candid shots of individuals and groups with various settings and lighting conditions. The only speedlight I currently own is the older SB800. I haven't tried it yet with my cameras but from what I saw on Nikon's site it should work in manual and TTL. In my mind for a "run-and-gun" type setup I was thinking set camera to manual with widest aperture and 1/200 shutter max sync speed with auto ISO. Then SB800 set to TTL or manual and bounce it. My questions are... - Has anyone used the SB800 with the Z series and if so what was the experience? - Any suggestions for my camera and speedlight settings mentioned above? - What are your preferred modifiers to bounce and diffuse with speedlights to create soft light? - Should I consider getting a newer Nikon speedlight or something like the Westcott FJ80II (either instead of the SB800 or in addition to it) with the two camera bodies? - Saw that lensrentals.com has the Profoto A10 available to rent and that looks really tempting. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any guidance! [/QUOTE]
