[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 567970, member: 14443"] I had 2 Sb800. great flashes. strong but recycle a little slow if you need speed, but if you get the 5th battery attachment you get as well. hard to find mint condition today. they go for around $250 used. I sold all 4 of my nikon flashes. just be aware, IF you ever consider buying 622n slaves, they do not work with their slaves as an on camera flash. off camera, yes. I personally use asian flashes. I beat on mine nonstop and they are workhorses. I use yongnuo 3 560III which IMO would be the perfect if they had hss. I also use 5 shanny SN600N flashes. they have it all for $80 a pop. 1/3 stop less power than the Sb910 recycle faster than the SN910. ittl, manual strobostic, hss. quick locking foot, 14mm-200mm lens spread. build quality is solid also. 565/568 are considered older gen to whats out now. great flashes but the feel and performance has gone a step forward since.
