I own a Nikon d40 and use my school's d60 and d70 with their alienbee B800's. The problem is that I can use the hot shoe with zero problems and no special set up on the d70 but when I swap it to either of the other 2 cameras it will not work. The hot shoe will trigger the flash units but firing the camera results in nothing. Am I missing a setting? I have them on full manual, have tried turning down the on camera flashes with no luck. I really appreciate anyone taking the time to help. Shanin
