Hey, if you're just using it as an accent light,

Thank you all for the advice.
Why not put it to good use? I have to disagree with Gordon on selling it "while it still may be worth something". It's not "worth" much now, and won't be worth much later either.
What you need to do anyway, is use your onboard flash, turned down to 1/16th power, to fire your SB800 off cam, anyway. Your main should be WAY off your camera to look best, say 20-45 deg off camera, to prevent flattening out the features of the subject's face, to maintain desirable shadow modeling. You could either use your onboard flash for fill and your SB28 for an accent light, be it a hairlight, background light, kicker, or whatever.
Are you going to be using these for portraits, or what? You never said.
