[QUOTE="hark, post: 792934, member: 13196"] Although I still have my Nikon SB-700 flash (and still use it), I switched to purchasing Godox flashes and strobes. If I'm going out to a venue, my Nikon flash is still my #1 choice. When using TTL, it tends to be a little more accurate than Godox although manual flash is equal. But the advantage with Godox is they have built-in receivers thereby allowing multiple flashes/strobes to be used at once. When my Nikon SB-910 stopped working, it cost $225 to fix. Nikon chose to also replace the flash tube despite that not having any issues. So the cost was higher than it really should have been. After the repair, I used it twice for a total of about 110 images only to have it break again. So here it sits because I don't want to spend the money to repair it again. For $225, I could have purchased two Godox TT685N (which were $110 each at the time). They have the same power output and also take AA batteries which is my preference for flash units. And since they cost less to begin with, they are more disposable than a flash that cost me $550 like my Nikon SB-910 did when it was new. So I have a couple Godox flashes now which seamlessly integrate with my AD200 Pro and AD400 Pro units. To use my Nikon with my Godox stuff, I need a receiver (which I also have). So think ahead. Do you anticipate ever growing by adding additional flashes? Have you ever considered using strobes for more light output? Strobes work much better outdoors in sunshine than flash units simply because of their output. One AD200 strobe is equivalent to about 3 of the Godox TT685N flashes. The Godox flash you are considering is also quite good - just not as powerful with its output. But if you are shooting indoors, you wouldn't need additional power anyway. But please consider if you ever anticipate adding additional flash units. If so, then Godox would be the less expensive option and allow you to add more lights. [/QUOTE]
