Nikon Speedlight SB-27 TTL Flash

Having just bought a Nikon FM3A film camera I now needed a flash to expand the camera's capabilities. The SB-27 has built in diffuser and bounce cards. So no fumbling around looking for them, they are right there on the top portion of the flash. The flash settings are fully adjustable to just about any situation. The size of the unit isn't too bad but it isn't "pocket' sized either. That means it isn't going to sit on the camera all the time just in case you need it. Think of an old Sony Walkman cassette player. It's just a hair smaller than one of those. Performance is great, about what you expect from Nikon. The FM3A is a manual film camera, so I can't say how well it'll work with autofocus or digital cameras. After reading the user manual online, I think it'll be great with those as well.

This flash is capable of operating on a wide number of Nikon cameras and in all the body's many modes. It's small and light, but extremely powerful, with features that few other flash attachments have. You can position the flash for top left, top right, or top center. this will let you place the shadow directly behind your subject with no additional parts.

Excellent small flash for the camera bag when the big units such as the SB-600 or 800 just won't do. Great coverage and long battery life.
