Flash

The latest incarnation of Nikon's flagship on-camera flashes.

The Roundflash is a very neat and practical Polish ringflash adapter, which collapses and expands like a Lastolite reflector. It's made from fabric and is kept in shape by steel bands that can be bent and curled to enable the Roundflash to fit in a very small bag when packed. It's nice and works very well as a ringflash as well as a general softbox for smaller subjects.

My first ever ringflash, and a dedicated one built to do macro work. It did the job and was fine, but not really large or poweful enough for anything but closeup work.

I wound up with two of these battery packs, which wasn't really the plan, but has worked out anyway since I have two flashes. The pack gives plenty juice for long shooting sessions at full power from the SB800's with very short recycle time at all flash settings. It charges fairly quickly when it's plugged into a wall socket. It also comes with a 12V charger and can be charged in a car cigarette lighter plug.

My first really intelligent flash. It had full integration with the late AF-bodies, very clever wireless control built-in and lots of power.

Nikon's classic workhorse flash. Terrible user interface, but a real performer and powerful enough to light up even a big scene. And I have two and could easily use one more.
