teneson Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 <p>I need a flash for my Nikon D90 and my Nikon F5. Which SB series flash will "talk" to both? I know the SB-25 works with the F5, but what about the D90? Are there any new models that will work on both cameras?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 <p><em>" Are there any new models that will work on both cameras?" </em>- not yet, and perhaps never ?<br> The newest flash SB900 doe not have the film TTL mode or the first issue of digital DTTL mode.</p> <p>You need to get an older flash. Best SB800. SB600 also has film TTL, but has some limitations on the CLS, power, external power supplies use, etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teneson Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 <p>So I need to get separate flash units for film & digital. I was hoping I didn't have to. Thanks for your time :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 <p><em>"So I need to get separate flash units for film & digital." - </em>No, SB800 and SB600 have both modes. <br> While SB800 is out of production, SB600 is available as new, but not new model. <br> Sorry if I did not make this clear in prior post.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
