A few new tidbits regarding my Yongnuo YN-622N post....

I've had some conversations with Yongnuo technical support on the TTL capabilities of the YN622Ns and here is what I found out:

  • My SB-800 was throwing off the TTL.  The SB-800 has an issue with early YN-622N units.  Yongnuo claims that is fixed with newer units of the YN-622N.  They did not indicate a date when they started shipping the corrected unit, but I received that email on July 30, 2013.   I imagine they are selling briskly enough that if you buy the Yongnuo's after August, 2013, you should be good.  Note: the issue with the SB-800 affected TTL operation, but as far as I could tell, it did not impact manual control over the YN-622Ns.
  • All of my other flashes work with the YN-622N in both TTL and manual.  That includes the SB-900, SB-910 and SB-600.  
Happy Shooting....
