Hey Kenny, our Post Exchange is having a big sale and the Nikon folks are bringing in some gear the Exchange normally does not carry. Hopefully to include the R1C1 flash kit. I cant get the flash outa the eyes of my dragons when using the pop up flash. Will a difusser on the macro flash work for this? BTW, great shots as always. : )
