SUBAL ND30 Nikon D300 Tokina 10-17mm

Yes, should have mentioned that some time ago. It is a feature on subal models (for Nikon at least) that has been available for at least the last few models. Some other brands don't have this capacity. I get a blank look from the owners of other brands when I describe this technique. Not sure if it justifies the cost, but I use it as an explanation why I buy Subal.

To be clear, what I do is set the AF on continuous. I focus with the AF on button. When I then push the shutter button the camera fires regardless is the camera thinks the subject is in focus or not. Gives you an instant shot. You never have to wait for the camera.

Thanks for reminding folks of this technique.

Hi All,

Just a quick one, thanks all so much for sharing your hints and tips for D300 camera settings.

Well i am hot and sweaty in a small cafe down town Sharm. The housing is working fantastic.

However when i attach a pair of Sea&Sea YS-110Alpha strobes the camera will not focus and not take any picture at all, on the top display it says er 26 or r26.

I dont know if anyone has come across this already, i have done numerous checks but cant figure out whats wrong, its probably something so simple. Anyway if anyone could help it would be sound. If not, that will be my excuse for spending a crazzzzzzzy amount of money on a new system and not getting great shoots haha.

Thanks all,

Big love.

I have the same housing, but no strobes. Do you have the right strobe (near shutter) as your primary and the other as slave? Try only the right strobe to see if it works alone.

Let us know what you have already tried.

Hope this helps.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the taking the time to reply.

I just received your mail this morning. Thats actually the first thing i tried, along with variuos camera settings.

oN THE CIRCUT board both pins on the lrft and right side are in the inner sockets if that makes sense, there both wired up for ttl, when arrived.

If anyone else has any suggestion it would be very much appricated. Thanks and big love to all.

Hey Log

What a bummer :-( So sorry.

I have you tried moving the TTL connectors in the Subal to the manual positions? So, the outer positions. See if this will fire the strobes. The use them manually.

I hate to suggest the blindingly obvious, but easily missed, of having the flash connector properly engaged on the camera? I've done that once or twice.....

Really hope you can work out a fix.
