[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 793236, member: 48483"] I have been using the same SB-400 since 2007, with a SB-600 purchased a couple of years later. I like having the compact option of the SB-400 even more since getting my Z5 as there is no pop-up option on any Z bodies other than the Z50. The SB-400 also fits in pants pockets fairly well too. But of course the SB-600 is preferred for when the extra features are needed. Nikon announced last year that they are giving development support with Nissin and Profoto. All outside indications are that Nikon is not interested in developing new speedlights, so this new support for 3rd party is a way to ensure options will be available to customers. Last new Nikon speedlight is from 2015. So I would look to those brands as the preferred 3rd party option today.
