Ive decided that CLS is rather limited in what its capable of. So I'm going to get some skyport triggers.
I'm also going to buy some more strobes, and here's the question. Do I get more 800's, or do I get 2nd hand sb80/28 dx's at half the price.
The old flashguns look like they have the same ports needed for the triggers, and I already have the 800 for on camera stuff, so what would I lose by using the older guns (In thinking that Id be using manual flash for off camera stuff)

Well i went the the extra 800's purely because i find them great flashes to work with and the extras you get like the diffuser even help. Just really depends on the price really. I only bought another SB800 so wasn't really that much more expensive.

If you're using triggers, go for SB-26/28's. Far cheaper than 600 or 800's and if you're using triggers you'll be shooting on manual anyway.

Go for the sb 25/26 or 28s. Real good flashes in power and weight and much cheaper than an sb600/800 You only need them if you want ttl really
