[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 646236, member: 43545"] Th 685 is the newer version that adds some features over the 568's that I have and almost the same price. Besides the built in receiver it has a 200mm field of view beam width that really casts lot of light on distant subjects, more than the SB5000 or 910. One cool feature is that is if it is mounted on a 622 II controller that has no LCD display, the LCD of the flash displays the receiver change, power and group settings like the 622 Tx does. Two other nice features is the ability to use a external battery pack, great for long events or weddings, and the ability to use its microUSB port to update the firmware. Overall, a lot of performance for the money. Not many units on the market with those specs, even in the Nikon line. I prefer the 622 Tx transmitter for camera shoe mounted control because of its easy to use LCD display, Those are about $45US and well worth it if one needs to control settings of more than one power and mode setting. For those using then in TTL mode, the regular 622 II Transceivers are fine as set and forget units. [/QUOTE]
