EastZat Photography: PAPARAZZI *NISSIN Di622 mark II Speedlite*

hey guys , haha . so , after weeks of researching , a lot of thought put into ; i finally decided to buy the Nissin Di622 Mark II Speedlite for my Nikon D3100 :) hehe all this while , i have been using my Canon 580 EXII Speedlite on my Nikon but , the hard part was , it functioned as non-TTL .. which basically means , i had to set everything to manual ; from manual mode on my camera *although i often use M mode* to M mode on the speedlite itself.. so , it wasnt efficient to do it, PLUS , it is actually NOT safe to put a CANON speedlite on a NIKON hotshoe mount as it will mess up the hotshoe circuit (one of the main reasons i decided to buy the nissin .) .. so , after playing around with my newly bought Nissin Di622 mkII ; i am actually very pleased with it considering it is a 3rd-party speedlite.

Believe me , this wasnt an easy decision . the other speedlites really fiddled with my mind because you have Cybertik , Sunpak , YongNuo , Octopus , etc. which are all good 3rd-party speedlites. but what really made me want the Nissin Di 622 mkII was its' i-TTL function , which means , it can fire the flash wirelessly WITHOUT the need of a transmitter/receiver triggering system AND it doesnt need to be fired through COMMANDER mode *for Nikon*. all you need to do to fire the Nissin is , your ON-BOARD Flash. BUT , what i have found out through my test runs just now was that , the flash from the on-board flash will affect your photos which will produce harsh lighting and over-exposed pictures ; which is just UGLAYYYY~

by now , i know you guys might be wondering , "why not just buy a Nikon speedlite ?" .. the answer to that is , i dont have the money to buy it. hahah i cant afford the SB-700s , SB-800s or SB-900s [ AT LEAST NOT YET ;) ].. i was trying to find a speedlite which would suit my budget , all i had was RM200 .. so , 3rd-parties are the only choices i had. :D and the SB-600s were out of stock , otherwise , i guess i wouldve bought that instead. hahah so , my nissin shouldve been RM600 but i got a discount ,in the end i only got for RM480 :)

so , now , to conclude this post ; i'll post up a few pictures of the Nissin Di622 Mark II Speedlite plus a link that will bring you to the full specifications of the speedlite ;
