Question about D-ttl with i-TTL flashes
My father is trying to get a couple flashes together for a friend in Cuba. His friend is using a Nikon D100 which appears to use D-TTL flash metering.
First question is, can a Nikon D100 use current flashes for Nikon cameras (i-TTL I think) with TTL metering?
Does a D100 have a commander mode?
trying to determine if there would be any benefit in getting the Sigma 610 DG Super over an all manual flash for much less cost.

It would appear that the Nikon D100 is just D-TTL and non-CLS. While some modern flashes still have D-TTL capability, some do not. (When in doubt, check the chart.)
According to this page:
http://speedlights.net/sigma-flash-ef-610-dg-super/
... and this Sigma compatibility page:
http://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash/comp_dg_st.htm
... the Sigma EF-610 DG Super flash "does" appear to support D-TTL, as well as i-TTL.
The bottom line is that the Nikon D100 is a pretty old camera body. If your father's friend really needs newer flash features like i-TTL and the Nikon CLS system, they need to upgrade bodies.

I think you were on the right track over all on your other-thread in Accessories talking about using triggers and flashes!
I agree completely and that is the solution I am suggesting for him as well. In the end though it is not my decision and just trying to get enough information together so that an educated decision can be made based on cost and features.
