Nikon Speedlight SB-27 AF

The Nikon Speedlight SB-27 is a highly versatile and uniquely designed external flash, recognized for its compact, folding "clamshell" profile. This professional-grade flash was engineered to provide powerful, creative lighting while maintaining a low profile on the camera body. One of its standout features is the built-in wide-angle diffuser and a unique reflecting plate that can be adjusted for horizontal or vertical bounce flash, allowing photographers to soften shadows and achieve more natural-looking portraits. Whether used in full TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode or manual, the SB-27 is a dependable tool for both analog and digital Nikon shooters who value mobility and precision.

Specialist Note "The SB-27 is one of Nikon's most clever flash designs. Because it folds flat against the camera, it’s much less cumbersome than traditional vertical flashes, making it perfect for travel and street photography. It is particularly prized by users of the Nikon F-series film cameras (like the F100 or F5) for its seamless TTL integration and its ability to act as a superb bounce flash in a very small form factor."
