Second hand SB600 shouldn't set you back too much. You'll want to get it off camera to get the full effect, depending on which camera you have it will activate the flash off camera or you can get a cheap set of triggers or a TTL cable.

The autofocus stops working because these old manual lenses simply don't have the capability. af is auto focus and came in in 1986 ai is automatic indexing, came in in 1977, and refers to the way the lens mounts on the camera. See the links posted above for a better explination.

Picked up a white balancer the other day, should prove handy once my welding glass turns up. Who says it needs to be an expensive hobby! Thank you TPers for all the bright ideas.
