Damn, and here I was considering getting a Metz 58 AF-2C for the secondary fill flash reflector…

This was made from the ideals of the Quantum QFlash, Canon 580EX II, Nikon SB-910 and Vivitar 285HV- all rolled into one hotshoe zoom able flash with 1 extra lighting.

So don’t nick pick and say you are broke or it costly.

Buying a Quantum Trio Flash with a Turbo Battery and HV Cable will set you over $1,400.00.
And you can’t zoom and do wireless ETTL II or ITTL.
Even slower to fully charge the flash.

Good luck on changing the Turbo Battery when you need a replacement.

ATG & Nissin batteries are user’s replacement.
And they work on Nissin/Canon/Nikon/Sony/Quantum.

Not as good as the Vivitar 285HV Flash.
Most of you are not even born when this was made.

ATG says go with a Vivitar 285HV if you are using Auto Sensor & Manual or Nissin Di622 Mark II

Better but still budget model would be the ATG Gold Flash Kim II.
Gold will do wireless ETTL or ITTL or both plus works on many film flash cameras.

ATG & Alzo Digital, CT have them in C & N.

Within 1 second with ATG Elite Gold Battery or Nissin Power Pack Pro 300.
And at 2.3 seconds with Quantum Turbo Battery.

You could keep your sb-600s and use something like the Lastolite tri-flash bracket. Basically it’s a flash bracket that allows you to attach 1 to 3 flashes on that one bracket. So you could go for the power of 3 flashes, or less power and shorter recycle times.

Love my Lumopro 160. I use it over my sb-900 most if the time.
