[QUOTE="Dornfield, post: 829375, member: 56210"] Well, after a bit of vinegar cleaning, and scrubbing with fine wire wool, I have managed to resurrect the SB26 flash! I'm amazed, and delighted. It is a shame to read that the SB26 won't work with the D7000, but to be honest I never really got to grips with the capabilities of the flash when mounted on the F90X Pro body, so I'd be unlikely to use it with the digital camera. I still use the F90X Pro for transparency work. One thing I am keen to learn is super macro photography, and I imagine that requires a ring flash. I have purchased a ring to reverse moutn a lens onto the body of the D7000, and then a slider to mount the camera on to allow me to change the distance to the subject (insect heads, I think) as the 'autofocus' will be lost by reverse mounting the lens on the body. Is there a fourum that might support me in this endeavour? And suggest a ring flash? Preferably second hand, as this might go nowhere! Thank you for your advice. [/QUOTE]
