hi,

I have Nikon D600 flash and some flash diffuser cap. Work fine, but wish to try some softbox attached on flash.

This is what I currently have:
http://www.amazon.com/SBM-Supreme-Diffuser-Olympus-Flashes/dp/B000OUBQWC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1206023913&sr=8-2

Any advice about flash softboxes and experience about this...

Another question. Previously I was mention that I have Nikon SB-600 and wish to buy another. Are they two work together wireless and when one is attached on camera and other somewhere in wireless mode.

Thank's a lot,
BA

the best flash diffusers I found (and I tried a few) is the Gary Fong Lightsphere. http://store.garyfonginc.com/ls2-p.html

I have 2 of them for my SB-800 and use them often.

I don't know about the SB-600 though.

I have the lumiquest softbox and the stofen omnibounce in addition to the Lightsphere, but have to agree that Gary Fong has the best diffusers on the market.

yes... this is what I need. Soon will post some images here.

How do you triger remote flash? With pop-up or another flash unit? I have Nikon SB-600 and do I need another Sb-600 or Sb-800?

You will need a SB 800 to trigger the SB 600.

Do not know what country you are in, but here in the USA the material is called "craft foam" and is readily available in craft stores. My total investment to rig 4 flash units was about $3.
For me better that walking around with a silly sald bowl on top of the flash. Hope this helps.

curently triggering SB-600 with pop-up flash from camera. Soon will buy SB-800, gary's diffuser and easybox.... looks like great lighting setup for outdoor.
