[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 727027, member: 10742"] Okay... Let's take this one step at a time. The SB-5000 is a very expensive flash for what it provides. It supports Nikon's Creative Lighting System, which is basically a line of sight flash that uses a system of pre-flashes from the Nikon camera's builtin flash to send signals to the remote/off camera flash. In this case the SB-5000. The SB-5000 also supports Nikon's new Radio frequency accessories because some newer Nikon cameras no longer have a builtin flash. That would be the WR-A10 you're asking about. It is part of a radio trigger system that Nikon sells. It is NOT included with the SB-5000... You can verify this by going to Nikon's web site for the SB-5000 and clicking on the accessories link on their page. You'll see it's not included and is, in fact, out of stock. Adding Nikon's remote radio trigger to the SB-5000 makes the combination an obscenely expensive speedlite in view of the fact that several competing flash makers pretty much all include the radio triggering in their basic speedlite packages at 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of the SB-5000 alone. Godox, and Yongnuo both make Nikon compatible speedlites that get high ratings with all the Nikon features for around the $100 price point... [/QUOTE]
