Default Gear question...
I have a decision to make. I sold my Tamron lens... I had planned on getting the Nikon SB-900 after I sold the lens. But now I'm thinking of getting a Pocket Wizard miniTT1 and a Pocket Wizard TT5 Flex. I would use it with my SB-600. The reason for buying the Pocket Wizard set is to be able to use high speed sync off camera. The question is do I buy the SB-900 now or do I get it later and get the Pocket Wizard set? Or Radio Poppers?
Opinions...

if you get the sb900, won't you have native wireless high speed sync with both the sb600 and 900??

Yes that is correct. But, the only reason I'm considering this is because wirelessly firing these speedlights outside can be challenging when the sun is shining. It would probably be smarter to purchase the light first and then determine if I need pocket wizards or radio poppers...

Never had a problem outdoors in full sun. I know a lot of people go on about how CLS doesnt work in the sun, but ive never honestly had a problem.

Wow.. maybe I'm thinking about it too hard. I would probably make more sense to get the SB-900.
