Specialist Note "The SB-800 (S/N: 2598761) is widely considered by many Nikon pros to be the best flash Nikon ever made. Unlike some newer models that are prone to overheating during heavy use, the SB-800 is a workhorse that just keeps going. What makes this unit particularly special is its backward compatibility; it works beautifully on modern Z-series and D-series digital cameras, but it also supports traditional TTL for older film bodies like the F5 or F100. It’s a powerful, intelligent, and incredibly durable piece of kit that belongs in every Nikon shooter's bag."
