jim schwaiger Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I am thinking of getting a cheap flash for my N65 and I noticed that Vivitar and Sunpak have some dedicated flashes under $100. I intend to use it for experimenting primarily, but TTL would be nice for indoor portraits and such. Are these worth considering while I save up for a "real" flash? I don't mind the manual controls and I'll even calculate GNs if need be. <br><br> Wish list:<br> - Test Button for Long Exposure/Multiple flashes<br> - Exposure compensation +/-2stops<br> - TTL control<br> - Decent GN spec. for indoor family photos and such<br> - 28mm to 105mm range<br> - Slave mode that allows it to be used with a Nikon flash (for when I upgrade)<br> - Swivel & Tilt for bounce flash<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd_takeuchi Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I have an N80 and N65, and use the Sunpak PZ 5000AF, which has (I think) all the features you mentioned. The price is about $150, so a bit above your budget. But I've been quite happy with it. The only quibble is the strobe's shoe -- plastic. Having said that, I've used it for two years and it is in fine shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
