UPDATE: December 10...The flash is still working fine. The rubber that covers the flash head tilt release on the side of the flash came off. I was able to easily reattach it with a small amount of contact cement. Good as new!
Like most photographers, I would virtually never set up a lighting system using three SB-600s/800s/900s. I would use a pro-grade studio lighting system (at half the cost) that would give me much more flexibility and real-world applicability. For this reason, since I don't need to use the strobe as a master, I opted for the 600 rather than the 800. For a professional, sure... I'd probably get the SB-900 and spend two weeks learning how to use it, but since I don't make my living taking photos, there's a cost/benefit analysis involved, and for me, the SB-600 is all the flash I need. Recycle time is good, and the lighting results are spot-on.
If you don't plan to use the wireless capabilities of the SB-600, you can probably get away with the SB-400 for half the price. However, I like the two-axis (bounce and rotate) adjustability of the flash head on the SB-600, while the SB-400 only offers one (bounce).

Bezüglich der Leitzahl, die nur 30 bezieht sich auf ISO 100, bei ISO 200 sind wir bei 42.
Ich habe den Blitz erst auf der D3000 verwendet, mittlerweile auf der D300s.
Qualität passt, das Produkt hält was es verspricht, ich hatte in dem etwas mehr als 1/2 Jahr Nutzung, niemals Probleme. Da ich den ganzen Winter Familienfotos gemacht habe, das meiste im inneren, hat der Blitz schon Locker 4000 Fotos mitgemacht ohne jemals Probleme zu machen.
Ich verwende übrigens dazu Eneloop Akkus.
Ich kann den Blitz nur Empfehlen, wer sich ein paar Euros sparen will, kann auch noch zu Metz Blitze greifen. Ich persönlich bleib lieber bei Nikon, aber das ist Geschmackssache.
The flash produces the effect of no flash at all and creates a natural effect when bounced off the ceeling etc.
I feel that this is the kind of product that will see me good for a long while.
I don't go much for tech speak so will only say, if you can afford it buy it.
Great product and delivered within the time limit.
