Comment: |
The
positive changes from the SB-28DX: 14mm coverage, wireless slave function,
a better autofocus assist light, more steps to flashtube positioning,
simpler control system, and a 1/128 power level. The negative changes
from the SB-28DX: no 20mm coverage! Do I want one? Read
my review. |

Don't Just Read
the Web Site, Get the Book!
The above
information was excerpted from the in-depth information in the upcoming
Nikon Flash Guide, 2nd Edition (the first edition, currently available,
does not include specific SB-80DX info). Besides flash specifications,
you'll find a full set of operating instructions for each flash in the
book. Plus, most cameras from the Nikon F3 forward are covered in the
detailed section on interactions and capabilities in the back of the book.
That's all in addition to the clearest description of how the Nikon flash
system works that opens the book. Click on the cover
in the right column to order your copy from amazon.com!
