Hi There! I have been learking recently trying to make up my mind what flash setup to get. I got my first Nikon in 1996 the Nikon N6006 and loved it did a few weddings with a Quanary off camera flash just for friends and family and now my husband purchased me a D70 last christmas so I can start doing more professional digitial work wedding senior picts ect. I have no idea what flash set up to use. Looking at the latest thread about the SB 600 and the SB 800 I am wondering about master-slave flashes and do I really need both or would just one work and which one should I go with. If I am going to sink the money into it I need to do it right so the extra 120.00 isn't that big of a deal. I love the idea of using a flash but still preserving the natural light and shadow but I remeber reading about diffusers and do I use a standard Stofen type bounce diffuser or a warming bounce diffuser? I noticed that one of the packages I am looking at for the BS 800 says it comes with Colored Filter Set SJ-800 (FL-G1 and TN-A1) and Diffusion Dome SW-10H. I believe the filter set is for when using as a slave to create a color on your background but is this Diffusion Dome the same type thing as the Stofen?

I was also considering what off camera bracket to use. I have had my eye on the Stroboframe Pro-T and the more compact Stroboframe PRESS-T and thought I am going to be going to and from location to location do I need larger or will the smaller PRESS-T work better? But then I saw Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 and wondered what the difference was besides the price?

Sorry I have so many questions but like I said if I am going to put together this setup I want to do it right. I am hoping all of you in your wisdom can help me! Thanks!
