I have a Nikon SB-800 hooked up via a sync cord to the shutter of my lenses. Fresh batteries and I turned off the standby mode in the flash's menu but sometimes when I release the shutter the flash does not fire, wasting film. I cannot find a pattern to it working/ not working but the flash works on a DSLR properly in every mode so I don't believe it's the flash that's defective in anyway. I don't have this problem with other strobes but they're so heavy I strongly dislike bringing them around in my backpack.
Thanks,
George K.
