Flash Units I recently did a wedding for a friend, the studio work came out excellant however most of the indoor photography using the flash was horrible.Some of it was fine. I recently bought a Nikon f-100 and bought a flash that was for auto focus but not a Nikon speedlight, I figure that the flash wasn't recovering as fast as the shutter was releasing. Can anyone suggest what type of flash unit would be ideal for that type of camera work? Hopefully my friend will forgive me and if I ever do a wedding in the future I will be able to get the results I need.Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. :-)

Donna, Your question raises a few important unknowns. First off, flash can't fix everything. That said, Metz,Sunpak, and Quantum make outstanding handlemount and camera mount flash units. I'm a Canon user myself so i'm not well versed in whether these companies make dedicated units for Nikon. Regardless, for low light flash pictures, look into the highest guide number you can afford. The flash units guide number will tell you how close to and how far away from a given subject you can be and still produce correctly exposed pictures. Many professionals use the Sunpak 555, which is what I use and I believe it can be purchased with a module that will connect to your Nikon. Metz is similar but is more pricey as is Quantum. The Metz 45CL-4 is a common choice.
