ben_hopson Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I just bought an F4s and am not sure if my flash will function properly with it. I have a Sunpak 555 and have searched for information on the module that is necessary for TTL operation. Sunpak makes one with "focus assist" and one without (NE-2D). Up until now I have only shot manual (F2A) and very little flash. Any suggestions on how to make camera flash combination work will be appreciated. If this combo is not feasable, which speedlite would be good for the F4? I have one AF lens, the 35-105 which came with the camera. The other lenses I have are all AI. Thanks for any advice, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_ Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 For less problem-solving, you might try to locate a SB-24, SB-25, or SB-26. These were designed to use with a Nikon body... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan_ratzlaff Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 If you can get a TTL module for it, do so. THe 555 has quite a bit more powwer than does a nikon dedicated speedlight. You can generally never have too much power in a flash. The cheap dedicated module at B&H is $31.95 the dedicated cord is $39.95. You won't get an sb-24, 25 0r other for that price and you'd still need an sc-17 for off camera flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hopson Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 Thanks for the suggestions. Since I already have the EXT-11 dedicated cable, I think I will get the NE-2D module from B&H and see how it works. For $32 it is worth trying it out on the F4.
