Help with some second hand gearI have a few questions about some gear i was looking at that i can't seem to find much info on.
First there is a Nissin 32 AF Nikon Flash. It's selling for $89 and i have no idea about getting info about it. I have been looking at getting a few more strobes to act as slaves for my SB600 and was hoping this would be ok. But i can't find anything about it at all. Does anyone know about this? Next is an Inca light meter - Flash master 2. I don't want (nor feel like i need) a light meter, but one of the company's i work for that i do school portraits for, insist that i use a light meter. I don't have one, and have been using theres, but in the next few weeks i need my own, so thought a second hand one might be ok. But again i can't find a thing about this and don't know much about them to start with. It's selling for $60. Next is a portable printer. We print out proofs on the day and at the moment we are lugging around a small 6x4 printer, plus a massive battery unit and inverter. It's such a huge pack and it feels totally unnecessary. I have seen some printers with a battery pack, but was wondering if people knew of any that are good? The last thing i am looking at is some more umbrellas, a few Bogen super clamps and some stands for my strobes. I haven't been able to find a reliable place around Canberra so am looking online now and was hoping people could let me know about where they go. I want some shoot through umbrellas and some reflective ones. I probably need 3 of each at this stage. Any help on any of these things would be super! Thanks everyone!
Re: Help with some second hand gearOk so it sounds like no one has got much info on these things, so it looks like i'll just let them go. I have to buy the today if i want them. Oh well if they were a good deal I'm guessing people would have jumped on here and told me to go buy them.
Re: Help with some second hand gearCan t help with much of any of that, but I do know that Canon make a car adapter for some of the portable printers..That may be an option.

Re: Help with some second hand gear
I saw a Nissin flash for the first time the other day. Just reading the info on the box it seemed to support both Canon E-TTL and Nikon iTTL, but no mention of acting as a wireless master/slave. I suspect it might work as the only flash on the camera, but not as part of a wireless setup. In any case, unless I'm mistaken your SB600 will only act as a slave, not a master/controller. So you either need the on-camera flash as the controller, or an SB800/900?
