Originally posted by superbass I ordered the AB's too. Mine should be coming Monday, and I wanted to make sure I have all the cables etc. I actually may just go with your idea.
Now to sell the 540 or the 360 ... hmm ...
Sounds exactly like my situation. I kept my 540, I like it and I want to have at least one flash with ttl for when I'm feeling lazy....
I've since got the 2 Nikon SB-28's and they are very nice, got them both for $90 each (on the bay) and one had a sto-fen with it so that's nice. No real testing yet, still waiting on the AB CyberSyncs to arrive monday.
On a side note, I ordered the alienbees on a Saturday. I got a voicemail message on Wednesday, saying "there was a slight delay shipping out your cybersyncs, but they will ship tommorrow, just wanted to let you know." Holy crap! 3 days is a slight delay? I honestly don't care that much, but it was very nice to have a human being calling me up to let me know the status. I've been very impressed with Mr. Buff's organization thus far.
Can't wait to complete the system and start testing it out.
