The 1/2 CTS will bring your flash WB to around 3800K, which will leave your backgrounds still with a touch of the warmth of Tungsten lighting.

I could be cute about it and say yes, Nikon makes a batter pack for it … but the SB-700 can’t take it since it has no connector for a battery pack.

It’s the one major downfall of the SB-700 (and Canon 430 EX II) that they don’t take external battery packs.
