Brilliant purchase

I’ve previously bought ‘other branded’ speed lights because of the cost but finally decided to purchase the real thing and I couldnt be happier. I shouldve bought this speedlight years ago. You can immediately tell the quality of the speedlight on opening the box and it just kept coming. If anyone is resiting buying this because of the price -dont – it is well worth the money.

I umm’ed and argh’ed for a year or two about getting a flash unit – another thing to set up/adjust/distract when shooting and not cheap, depending on how often you would use it. However, I bit the bullet and am very pleased – makes such a difference to even casual shots of the family.I plumped for this model because of (a) compatibility with my Nikon (although you can get 3rd party products that will do similar, I wanted this to be idiot proof out of the box – TTFL deals with all the dull stuff whilst I just shooy), (b) the ability to angle/bounce flash is absolute must, (c) it comes with a couple of diffusing options (pop on cover, in built ‘frosted’ cover and the simple yet super effective in-built white bounce cardHighly recommended

The SB-700 uses an iTTL optical (infra-red) system to communicate exposure information from a camera. This works very well, with good quality and accurate light production. The drawbacks: the cameras popup flash fires an optical signal that can produce reflections on a background and can cause humans/animals to blink meaning the subjects have their eyes closed when the actual shot is taken. The answer is to purchase a Nikon SG-31R shield that hides the optical light, but lets through the required signal- off-camera, there has to be a clear line of sight from the cameras popup and the flash unit, otherwise nothing happens. The sensor on the flash unit is only on its right-hand side, but it is quite sensitive to the popup signal- ambient light can confuse the monitoring systemUsing the flash units Manual Mode is an alternative off-camera requires a PC lead from camera to flash unit or a radio transmission/receiving system set up on both, or the use of iTTL trigger. In Manual Mode, the flash unit does not acknowledge the camera’s ISO and Aperture settings. Most sensible flash units allow the input of the ISO and F-Stop settings which are being used on the camera but not the Speedlight. The Guide Number is given (this is the distance of the flash unit to the subject, multiplied by the F-Stop (ie GN of 28 at 100 ISO provides light to 7 metres at F4 or 4 metes at F7 etc or it will reach 7 metres at F8 at 400 ISO). The only control of the light intensity is to employ the Speedlights facility to fire at maximum, or ½, ¼ etc of its maximum. Discovering the percentage of this maximum requires a tape measure, a calculator, paper and pencil, strong coffee/tea and a string of mathematical equations this is insanity. Nikon should publish a selection of suggested maximum percentages, across a range of distances, F-Stops and ISOs. The flash unit comes with a decent pouch, coloured filters, a removeable foot and a useful manual in English.Tips:- in iTTL Mode, switch off the cameras popup flash, unless it is really needed. The information is still sent to the flash unit- disable unused matching groups, to reduce the number of preflashes from the camera- the flash unit has various choices of narrow or wide-angle light dispersal. Ensure that the focal length of the cameras lens is not wider than that set on the flash unit, otherwise there will be a fall-off of light at the edges of the shot- if the camera is a Nikon, use flash white balance, not auto white balance, as Nikons can produce a bluish tint

bought this one after scouring through the cheaper end and Im so glad I spent the extra and got the Nikon one to grow into. It oozes quality and works a treat even for a novice. Its very easy to get properly exposed shots and has loads of features for me to grow into. It is expensive compared to others but trust me it is worth the extra and I dont regret buying it at all.
