[QUOTE="Silver, post: 200525, member: 14167"] Ok Wayne, thanks. I find the Nikon Support info pages to be somewhat unclear at times or at least the context sometimes seems disconnected if you don't read entire paragraphs or pages. You know, trying to get information fast without having to read huge amounts of text. Which one really SHOULD take the time to do. I searched compatibility charts a while back and some of the older accessories' compatibilities are somewhat nebulous, almost as if Nikon is hinting "forget that old thing, buy our latest" which is seems contrary to Nikon's "philosophy" of interchangeability. (?) I've seen warnings about using older accessories that "might damage newer equipment". I know the contacts on the SC-17 match the contact points on the hotshoe, but there's always that "hesitation waltz" I do before using something on these expensive cameras and equipment, so I try to search out other's opinions and experiences. (I'm the D800 basket case guy: take the telephotos off the body while transporting!) [/QUOTE]
