I'm new here, and I wonder- What thread are you referring to? I've just realized how frustrating the slow sync at my Ds is, and want to read more about this.

Camera modes, flash settings, etc. Was 1500/5.6 the proper exposure for existing light and you just let the flash do its thing? Jos had some doubts about the flash having power enough for daylight HSS. Is the Kalt device still available?
