Nikon Speedlight SB-28 Speedlight with original box and manual!
The Nikon Speedlight SB-28 is an older, professional-grade flash unit originally designed for Nikon's film SLR cameras from the late 1990s. It is known for its high power, compact size, and reliability. While it offers full TTL (Through-The-Lens) flash functionality with film cameras, its compatibility with modern Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras is limited to manual and non-TTL auto modes.
Specifications:
- Powerful output: The SB-28 features a guide number of 36m / 118ft at ISO 100 with the flash head zoomed to 35mm.
- Versatile flash modes: It offers multiple modes for various shooting scenarios, particularly on film cameras.
- 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash: On compatible film cameras like the Nikon F5 and F100, this mode automatically controls flash output for proper exposure of both subject and background.
- Standard TTL: A standard through-the-lens flash metering mode for compatible film cameras.
- Non-TTL Auto Flash: Measures light with a sensor on the flash itself, allowing for automatic exposure on any Nikon camera. The user must manually set the aperture on both the lens and the flash's LCD panel.
- Manual Flash: Offers seven manual power levels for complete creative control.
- Zoom and tilt/swivel head: The flash head can zoom from 24mm to 85mm to match the lens angle of view. It also tilts and swivels for bouncing the light off ceilings or walls to create softer, more flattering illumination.
- AF-assist light: An infrared beam is emitted to help the camera autofocus in low-light conditions.
