Just pulled the trigger on a used SB700 off fleabay. Given that I'm completely new to external flashes, thought I'd pick your collective brains on what I should check for, both from a mechanical standpoint, as well as performance. To be specific:
- Are there any common mechanical / hardware issues with this flash or its predecessors that need to be checked for?
- Anyone have specific advice on testing the performance of the unit, outside of slapping it on the hotshoe and firing away in less-than-ideal lighting situations? Any specific features that I need to consider testing that typically get a lot of use?
- Given that I have a D3300 and a D7100, any specific guidance for testing on these particular models?
Cheers!
