stephan_sundlof Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Would like to know if a Nikon SB-23 flash unit is compatible with a Canon AE-1 PROGRAM camera? Thank you! Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal_bissinger Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 What do YOU mean by compatable? All the Nikon flashes will "flash" on just about any camera that uses a standard hot shoe. Your AE-1 Program only provides a trigger for the flash anyway so that's about all you can expect. It then boils down to what the SB-23 can provide in the way of manual power adjustments. I don't think it has an auto "thyrister" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed farmer - mount laurel, Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 The SB-23 has no "Auto" mode. Of course, it will not work TTL with your Canon. The only option is "Manual", which will just allow the flash to fire at full power on every shot. I don't know what the guide number for the SB-23 is, but that is the only way you would be able to use it. I am sure that you can find many Canon and third-party flashes for the same, or less, money.
