Don't forget that the Nikon F6 (Nikon's greatest film camera) is also able to work with CLS. Check out the new SB900. The interface is much simpler and it can plug into a pc for firmware updates.

Very nice, straight forward example. I was always confused as to whether using the popup flash in this case would contribute to the flash - thanks for explaining that!

The setup would be roughly the same. Essentially you would need to position the lights (as you suggest) and then set both SB-800's to "remote", and either let them fire in TTL mode or adjust the power individually in the on-camera settings. If you explain exactly what you're looking for, I can try to put something together.

There are different settings for this. In my example, the pop up flash fires to trigger the SB-800. However, you can have the on-board flash fire during the exposure as well. This can be adjusted in the camera flash menu where you set the SB-800 to fire in TTL mode.

I think the pop up flash does fire, but the shutter is not open when it fires, and the only purpose of it is to tell the SB-800 to fire. The shutter only opens when the SB-800 fired.
