Still experimenting to see if I can disable TTL AND still use commander mode on the D90 to trigger the SB600. |
You can leave the commander mode in place for your d90 and sb600, and then switch to manual mode directly from the control screen on the camera. You can also choose whether the pop up flash will also fire a second shot to contribute to the lighting, or only the command preflash.
However, this won't solve the sigma early fire problem--its slave will still trigger on the command flash from the d90, and you will always have that when using CLS. I got some cheap little vivitar flashes designed to work with point and shoots, and you can set them to fire on the first, second, third, and fourth (i think) flash they detect. But they are kinda fussy and low powered. If you want to control other brand flashes, CLS will not work out for you. I got radio triggers (cybersyncs are pretty inexpensive and reliable), but you need a trigger and at least one receiver (then the others can fire on slave mode). The SB600 needs a hot shoe adapter to accept a sync cable from the receiver. This route means manually adjusting the flash controls, since no TTL, and no CLS control.
If you really love the CLS, it might be better just to get a second sb600 (might be able find a used one). |

Splitting infinitives is acceptable by modern standards. The justification for the rule against splitting infinitives has its roots in Latin, a language in which, of course, splitting infinitives was impossible.
Nowadays, the only reason not to split an infinitive is to avoid the appearance of incorrectness to those that mistakenly believe that splitting infinitives is incorrect. Granted, because this misconception is widespread, the risk of causing a miscue from a split infinitive is significant, and the general recommendation is not to split when reasonably possible. However, there are plenty of situations in which avoiding a split infinitive is awkward enough to justify the risk of a miscue, and in any event, splitting is grammatically acceptable. |

LOL ... I didn't even know this was pointed at me until Damon stepped in and mopped you up with his dazzling knowledge of the English language :)

Team CritMass sticks together!
I get nerdy with my English sometimes--a side effect of my time as an editor. I generally avoid waxing obnoxious about grammar, but incorrect statements of rules demand action!
Okay, that's twice now that I've more or less derailed this thread... |

Hey...pointed at me, I thought it was. Most usually because of the interesting word usements, I structure. |
