david_waugh3 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>I will be hiring an SB600 for use with my F100 next weekend. Have been trying to find out some stuff on the web, but finding slightly conflicting answers :-) </p> <p>Could somebody please tell me what the maximum flash sunc speed is? Ideally, I will be shooting aperture priority at f2.8 with 400CN across a reasonably wide range of lighting. Was hoping that at a lower power (just for fill with a diffuser) I'd be able to shoot at shutter speeds around 1000th. I realize I wont be using iTTL, but can standard TTL cover this OK?</p> <p>Anything special I need to know? Special settings on the SB600 or F100?</p> <p>Many thanks in advance,</p> <p>David</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenjo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>Max flash sync is 250 which is the max camera synch. SB600 does TTL, BL, M, GN and RPT modes on F100. SB600 high speed synch will not work on the F100, only on iTTL cameras. Some older Nikon speedlights had an equivalent high speed sync mode for F100 (and other Group I cameras). SB80DX is one, I cannot remember how many others had this mode.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_waugh3 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>Thanks guys. Don't suppose the SB800 is any better then?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenjo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>SB800 adds A and AA modes and SU-4 remote mode. Does not support high speed sync on F100.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>"I will be hiring an SB600" - hire SB-800 to get more power, needed for bounced photography or with use of the supplied Dome diffuser on the flash head - highly recommended.</p> <p>... and do not hire the SB-900 since it does not support your F100 camera flash system TTL.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niccoury Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>The SB-600 is a great flash for the F100. Only limitations for me are it stops zooming at 85mm.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
