Thanks Andy! Took me a while to find a link that worked with my super slow and unreliable 'net, but thanks to you stating the obvious, I did find what I'm looking for.

Took 2 seconds to find this. (Curiously, does China block access to it?). I just typed into google, sb800 user manual pdf.

Sometimes you don't realize that such things are on google. Thanks for you rhelp. Still having lots of trouble downloading it, but lets see if that goes through. Thanks!
My primary interests in the SB-800 are the repeating flash function, and the wireless abilities. I own an SB-600 and frankly, I'm not impressed with all the i-TTL jazz. I may be using it wrong, but I usually end up setting manual everything on both camera and flash to get what I want. I'm also interested in the even more powerful distances.
However, it appears that you have to set up aperatures, distances, ISO values and a host of other stuff for half the modes? I obviously don't have the flash in my hands, but just how complicated is this flash? I don't have any trouble with the SB-600 and it manual mode. Is the SB-800 easy to set or do I have to consult distance and aperture charts all the time?
(I have a D300, and a D70 that I'll be using this flash on.)
