Does the D5100 work with the R1 or R1C1 flash?

Answer:
Yes the D5100 would work perfect with the R1 and or R1C1 system. With a D5100 matched to the awesome R1C1 you would have an exceptionable system , especially for close up and Micro work but not limited to Micro only, you can move into the studio or out of door. The R1C1 includes the SU-800 as part of your CLS allowing you to quickly and easily setup and control your flashes in groups and channels. Some can be set up as fill -firing at .7 under, and other flashes as side and highlights - all controlled and managed by the easy to use SU-800; you don't have to touch your flash, you do it all from the SU-800.If you go with a R1, you would then be using your built in camera menu to set up your flash lighting and groups.

Answer:
Since the flash from the D5100 doesn't work as a commander you will need to use the SU-800 in order to trigger the R1. The D5100 is compatible with the R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System.Has staff answer

In order to attach the R1 system to a lens you will need an Adapter Ring (that would depend on the size of the lens) and the SX-1 Attachment Ring.Answer:
Yes, you can use one of five different size adaptors from 52 to 77mm, then the SX-1 clips on and the SB-R200's attach to thisHas staff answer

No, the R1 won't work with your D40, because the flash doesn't have the commander option. However, the R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System will, since it has the SU-800 commander that will trigger both SB-R200 Speedlights.6 months ago

Answer:
Yes it will work, however, if you are thinking of using it instead of a full ring flash for portraits etc, think again as it is just noe powerful enough for that sort of thing as it is designed for macro and close up work. This is of course assuming thats what you are wanting it for, if on the other hand you do want it for macro then putting it on a 24-70 is not going to be of much use as it is not a macro lens, with a minimum focus distance of 1.2ft it not going to get in very close.

Answer:
Yes, you can. IMHO that so do the SB700, SB800, SB910 and the SU-800 commander unit. Also, if you're serious to macro to the point of having such expensive speedlights like the SB900 and R1 units, consider upgrading from the D5000 to it's "professional version" , the D90, which is essentially the same camera with the inclusion of a focusing motor (that will allow you to autofocus the best macro lens in the world, Nikon's 200mm AF-D micro. The D5000's lacks a built in focusing motor, required to focus AF-D lenses) and a CLS compatible built-in flash unit (that can command the R1 by itself, without an external commander. See the attached picure) - or even better, the "dream DX" D7000, whose price has lowered considerably.Sample Photos & Videos

Answer:
Yes it will, however beinfs as its not internal focus you have to be careful when focusing as the weight can be a problem, this can be solved by using the UR-5 adaptor ring that is specifically designed for the earlier 60mm to mount the SX-1 ring.
