As you already know, I do recommend Gary Fong products. Since I became a fan of the lightsphere series, I have always visited the Gary Fong website. I have recently discovered a new product from Mr. Fong which they called the GearGuard™ by Gary Fong.

To put simply, it is a way to lock your Camera Bag so that no one will steal, or find it difficult to steal the contents of your bag. It doesn’t need to apply to a camera bag only or DSLR Bag, you can also use it on any kind of bag. You can see…

This has been long overdue. We have put the Di866 through it’s paces as a regular user should. This review is aimed more at the regular consumer and hobbyists rather than the technically knowledgeable Professional Photographer (although you might still find this review useful).

Before the Nissin Di866 release, we have used and abused the Nissin Di622 which we now have several units of. We complained of the swivel head up and down lock mechanisms as total garbage. Di622 Flash head will fall down from a 45 degree position if we attached snoots, lightsperes and other moderately heavy diffusers and…

I have a wind of the news of the to be released Flagship Flashgun from Nissin, specially made for Nikon users. The All new Nissin Di866. At around 300USD and maybe adjusted lower in the future this is a to be waited on Flashgun from Nissin.

The Di866 Professional Speedlight features an external auto-exposure sensor with eight f-stops from f/2 to f/22 with compensation potential. It has additional features specially designed for professional dSLR users. The recycling time is around 3.5s and supposed to offer up to 150 full-power flashes per set of batteries.

The flash is supposed to synchronize…

Still Looking for the most affordable Flash/Strobe for your strobist setup, you already are familiar with the Nissin Di622 right? Since I already reviewed it here before. I’d like to review a couple more affordable alternatives, but I can’t get my hands on them yet. So this is just a primer of the new sets of flashes. They are all ranging below the USD150 price line and seems to be a good alternative for your flash needs. The review at The Strobist Blog is updated every time they get new info on these set of flashes, so I…

If you don’t know what it is, it is generally called a lighting modifier in photography. It is often called though as a Flash Diffuser.

The Gary Fong Lightsphere 2 is the newest version of Gary Fong’s Lightsphere series. It comes either in Clear and Cloud versions. The clear one for slight softness of light and the Cloud one which I recommend adds moderate softness to your flash light, making photos appear like it was taken using natural lighting not the harsh one a regular flash produces. It has a top attachment if you want to use those,…

Remember my review of Filters Exchange? One of the things I ordered is the Nissin Di622 and this is its review.

The Nissin Di622 is a flash unit for the budget conscious, it is often compared to the Nikon SB-600 and if you are looking to convince yourself with both, the simple answer would be: “The SB-600 costs double the price of a Di622, so if you have a Nikon system and you have the budget, get the Nikon SB-600, it has CLS and when you get an SB-900 in the future, the two will go hand in…
