Trying out this method for hacking sync speed with a PC cable.

On the left is an SB-600 hooked up to my D200 with a PC cable. You can see the shutter sweeping across at higher sync speeds.

On the right is an SB-600 hooked up to my D200 with a PC cable, but I also have another SB-600 sitting on my hotshoe at 1/64. The flash on the hotshoe doesn't contribute any noticeable light and tricks the D200 into Auto FP mode.

Doesn't seem as efficient as just using CLS to trigger the flashes, but interesting to try nevertheless.

Take a look at full size.

Shot at 100 ISO, f/8.0 from 1/250 to 1/8000.
