by: Dirk

Description: Introduction  The Metz 50 AF-1 flash for Nikon cameras. In short, it's a brilliant, full featured flash that will meet the requirements of those who primarily work with portable flashes. Although missing some features found in older and current generation Nikon Speedlights (i.e. the SB-700, SB-800, etc.), those who shoot with Nikon cameras should look to this flash as a viable tool in their toolbox. For those who don't normally shoot with portable flashes, there are alternatives which are smaller, cheaper, and more adept to occasional flash use.

SB-700 Speedlight Shoe Mount Flash

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 10:23:15 -0500

by: Jason Hermann

Description: Product Highlights: * FX/DX Format Recognition * 24-120mm Coverage (FX) * On-Camera & Wireless Operation * 2.5 Second Recycling Time (NiMH) * 3 Second Recycling Time (Alkaline) * i-TTL Operation * Thermal Cut-Out Detection * Filter Detection * AF-Assist Illuminator * Standard, Center-Weighted, & Even Illumination The SB-700 Speedlight Shoe Mount Flash from Nikon is an on-camera flash, designed for use with Nikon DSLR cameras that use the i-TTL metering system. It is compatible with DX and FX sensors, and its power zoom head covers a 24-120mm range when used with an FX camera. You'll be able to use the strobe directly on your camera via the hot shoe, or wirelessly as a Commander or Remote. Using the flash as a Commander allows you it to take control over other Nikon Speedlights, expanding your creative lighting options. As a Remote, it can be controlled by another Speedlight, or your camera's built-in flash. Its Quick Wireless Mode, with A:B light ratios, allows you to quickly adjust settings on multiple flash units -- giving you the ability to control two remote units in i-TTL mode. It features a dot-matrix LCD control panel with an intuitive layout for easy operation. It derives power from AA batteries -- supporting rechargeable NiMH, disposable Alkaline, and disposable Lithium cells. Recycle time is a scant 2.5 seconds when using NiMH, 3 seconds when using Alkaline. The SB-700's Thermal Cut-Out detection prevents the flash from overheating. It increases the recycling time if the temperature of the flash head crosses a certain threshold, preventing the unit from becoming damaged. The strobe includes hard plastic-type color filters for fluorescent and incandescent color temperature balancing. When you use these supplied filters, the flash is able to recognize which filter is installed, adjusting the white balance automatically on compatible Nikon DSLR cameras. It also features an AF-assist illuminator lamp, which helps to speed up the autofocus of your camera in low-light situations. The SB-700 supports three illumination patterns -- standard, center-weighted, and even -- for use in different shooting situations. Standard mode provides conventional flash coverage. Even mode covers the subject with even light across the entire frame, perfect for group photos where even illumination is desired. Center-weighted mode directs the light to the center of the frame, creating a vignette around your subject that is suitable for portraiture. Portable, Versatile Speedlight Unit i-TTL Speedlight optimized for use with Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS). Complete Flash Head Positioning Freedom Bounce 90� up and 7� down with 360� rotation elevates creative lighting freedom. Wireless Flash Control Wireless Commander Mode controls up to 2 remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights. When used as a remote speedlight up to 3 Groups can be selected. Four wireless channel options help manage wireless conflicts in multi-photographer environments. Choose From 3 Light Distribution Patterns Using the simple slider switch on the back of the SB-700, you can optimize light quality by selecting Standard for general illumination, Center-weighted for portraits or Even, for groups or interiors. Color Filter Identification Automatically identifies mounted hard type color filters and adjusts camera white-balance. 1 Please Note: With select Nikon digital SLRs close Automatic Format Identification Automatically senses the FX or DX-format camera in use and optimizes light distribution. Firmware Updating Allows uploading of performance enhancement developments. 2 Please Note: With select Nikon digital SLRs close Nikon's Precision i-TTL Flash Control Delivers precise flash exposures and seamless fill-flash performance-even in challenging lighting situations. Hot Shoe and Wireless Operation Use on-camera, as a wireless master, commander or remote light source. Versatile Auto Power Zoom Coverage Smoothly covers lenses as wide as 24mm and up to 120mm in FX-format. Streamlined Controls and Menus Convenient Rotary Select Dial sets key functions quickly and a prominent Master and Remote control switch simplifies wireless operation. Flash Tube Overheat Protection To prevent overheating, flash recycle time increases when SB-700 detects heat build-up. Flash Value (FV) Lock Locks in a specific flash output on the main subject, regardless of aperture, composition or the lens's zoom position. 3 Please Note: With select Nikon digital SLRs close Drip-Proof Mounting Foot Cover (Water Guard) Provides enhanced moisture protection.

by: Jason Hermann

Description: Product Highlights: * FX/DX Format Identification * Guide No. 131' (40 m) at 35mm * 3 Light Distribution Patterns * 17-200mm Auto Zoom Range * Wireless Controller The Nikon SB-900 Speedlight is Nikon's flagship flash unit, and the most advanced in the Speedlight range. As a replacement to the SB-800, the SB-900 shares many of the same functions, but also has some innovative additions and improvements. Its automated zoom head has been expanded to cover 17mm to 200mm lenses (in 35mm/FX format), and can cover this range in just 1.2 seconds. This flash now lets you select from three light distribution patterns: Standard, Center-weighted, and Even. It will also automatically detect if it is connected to a DX or FX format camera, and adjust itself accordingly. The SB-900 can work as a stand-alone flash, or as part of a wireless group, either in Commander mode or as a slave (remote). The i-TTL system in this flash supports Advanced Wireless Lighting and versatile functions for up to four groups of Speedlights, with 3 remote i-TTL Speedlight groups controlled through the master SB-900. i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash flash control employs Nikon's Advanced Data Communication system. This system provides an improved method for the monitor pre-flash and wireless operation that marks an evolution in higher precision over Nikon's acclaimed D-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control system, and forms the core of the Creative Lighting System. Note! Please note that the SB-900 is only fully compatible with DSLR cameras that support i-TTL operation. With older cameras that use the D-TTL mode, only [A] Auto mode (non-TTL) is available. Multiple Flash Exposure Modes * i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash with Nikon cameras that support i-TTL (e.g. D3, D700, D200, etc.) * [AA] Auto Aperture Flash * [A] Auto Aperture Flash with many film SLRs, including the Nikon N55 (F55) and FM10 * [M] Manual Flash Bounce Capability Flash head tilts down to -7� or up to 90� Flash head rotates horizontally 180� to the left and right. i-TTL Intelligent i-TTL system supports Advanced Wireless Lighting and versatile functions for up to 3 remote i-TTL Speedlight groups controlled through a master SB-900 or with the "Commander" function of compatible cameras. 3 Light Distribution Patterns Allows you to improve the light quality by selecting Standard for general illumination, Center-weighted for portraits, or Even for groups and interiors. Stroboscopic Effect Repeating flash for creating stroboscopic multiple-exposure effect. Mixed Exposure Modes Individual flash mode settings ([TTL], [AA], [A] and [M]) are available for each of the four groups (including master controller) for easy total lighting control based on the brightness of the subject and not simply on general output ratios for each group. FV Lock Flash Value Lock allows photographers to change the composition or zoom for the shot while maintaining desired lighting of the subject. Distance Priority Manual Flash Mode User can set the distance and aperture, and the SB-900 automatically sets the power output, a great feature for manual flash [M] shooting at weddings and for product shots. Colored Gels Allows modification of flash output to match background scene, especially useful for digital cameras where "white balance" can be controlled. Included are Tungsten and Fluorescent adjustment filters. Color Gel Filter Identification Flash automatically identifies mounted color gel filters and adjusts the camera's auto white-balance setting with select Nikon digital SLR cameras. Flash Tube Overheat Protection Includes a built-in thermal sensor that protects the flash-tube from overheating during sustained high-speed bursts. AF-Assist Illuminator The SB-900 provides improved AF assisting accuracy by being able to cover all 51 AF points with the D3, D700, and D300 (as of 7/2008), and with wider coverage from 20-105mm. Firmware Updating Allows uploading of performance enhancement developments to the SB-900 with select Nikon digital SLR cameras. LCD Large easily read illuminated LCD panel.
