I bought this and used it a few times and then switched to Canon and it has sat on the shelf. Its ready to go. $200.00 includes case!
Description
Works with every Nikon SLR:
i-TTL for Nikon's newest DSLRs, like the D7000, D700, D3X, F6, D70s, D200, D2X and D2H etc.
D-TTL for Nikon's earliest DSLRs likes the D100, D1, D1X and D1H
Regular TTL for all the film cameras from the FA and FE-2 through today.
Use it in Manual mode on your F or F2; sorry; no auto mode unless it's TTL.
(The newer SB-400, SB-700 and SB-900 only work in i-TTL auto.)
Power Input
4 AA cells of any kind.
Power Output
Rated GN 98, feet at ISO 100 at the 35mm setting.
Manual 1 - 1/64 power in third stops. (SB-800 turns down to 1/128 power but has 2/3 stops more power at full)
Exposure Modes
TTL (TTL, i-TTL and D-TTL) and manual with variable power.
No non-TTL "A" mode. This is the mode you'd use with a film camera made before 1979, but since the mode isn't here just use manual for historical cameras.
No idiotic repeating strobe mode. No one ever uses that mode. Its good that it lacks it because it makes cycling through the modes with the MODE button much faster, since there are none of the trick "sales" modes to bog things down. Sales modes are useless features added to flashes to make the innocent spend more money on them.
Exposure Compensation
You can dial in up to +3 to -3 stops flash exposure compensation on the flash, just press the dedicated + and - buttons. That's more than you usually can dial in on the camera.
Zoom Settings
You can shoot with any lens, however the marked settings are from 24-85mm, and a flip-down panel covers 14mm.
Size
2.7" W x 4.9" tall x 3.5" deep (SB-800 is 2.8" wide x 5" tall and 3.5" deep)
Weight
13.75 oz. (390g) with 4-AA alkalines, 10.6 oz (300 g) empty.
Case
SS-600 soft fuzzy fake-leather sack included.
Nikon Product Number
4802.
