Remote Flash Gun

[LFB531]

I know that this will be an opportunity for abuse but estate agent here looking for a bit of advice

We get most of our photography done by a Pro these days but there are times we need to grab some decent images a bit faster. Our Nikon D40 has done sterling service and still does but using a 12-20 lens combined with the built in flash can cause a shadow on the image.

I've been told that a remote flash is the way to go, it seems logical enough. The choice of course is endless and I'm not sure what I need so before I let myself loose on not-needed kit in the shop, any good advice I should follow?

Thanks in advance.

My feeling is that if you are worried about shadows with the camera flash it may be more of an issue with a remote flash (without a bit of trial and error work to start with)

Sorry, I should have been clearer. It's the lens that creates the shadow on the image at low level as the internal flash fires across it.
