The Nikon R1C1 Wireless System comes with the R1 close-up remote kit, the Nikon SU-800 Speedlight Commander (unit that goes in the hot shoe of your camera) and two Nikon SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlights and various other items. You can attach as many up to eight Nikon SB-R200 speedlights onto the ring so expandibility of this system is certainly possible. This kit comes with a very nice case and individual pouches which hold all the various items. The Nikon lenses you can use with Nikon r1c1 include the Nikon 60mm Macro, Nikon 105 Macro, and Nikon 200mm Macro. The attachment rings for these size lenses come with the kit along with gel filters to dampen the light. I was fortunate to obtain the new Nikon 105mm VR Macro lens and have been using the Nikon 105mm VR lens with the kit along with a Nikon SB-800 Speedlight flashgun I previously owned to give some additional lighting. Some photographs of spring flowers I have taken so far are very nice indeed. The Nikon R1C1 system works with Nikon’s iTTL so your exposures come out ok. Your creative ingenuity is put to the test to come up light configurations that will create the macro photo that suits you. As any photographer knows getting the right light on your subject is important. The Nikon r1c1 kit is really a must have for anyone interested in macro flash photography. Very highly recommended! |
