5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon SB-28 flash former top-shelf flash June 26, 2011

By D. Rivera

The Nikon SB-28 flash was the top-shelf flash back when the F5 and F100 were available new. I've used the SB-28 with my F100 with flawless results and now I use it with my D90 with flawless results. On the D90, the SB-28 is manual only, but with "chimping" I actually get even better results than I get with my F100. You just have to recognize what the lcd monitor on the D90 is showing you; I can usually dial down the flash to improve the shadows enough to show detail. Settings on it include 1/1 to 1/64 on manual setting and if you shoot film +/- 3 stops exposure compensation in TTL mode.

I get a Nikon flash, save money, and get high-end quality by choosing the SB-28 over an SB-600 or SB-700. Unfortunately, it seems they are no longer dropping in price and are actually becoming more expensive. If you can find one at a good price, get one. You won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars SB-28 will work on a Nikon D200 October 27, 2009

By Ronald E. Hart

I own a Nikon SB-28 flash, as well as a SB-600. The SB-28 will work on a Nikon D200 camera, you just don't get TTL mode; see page 178 of the Nikon D200 user guide.
The SB-28 has the advantage, in my opinion, of displaying distance whereas the SB-600 doesn't in the Manual mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a used like new item. I use it for a remote flash. January 25, 2013

Using this flash as a remote is very easy. Put it on manual, put on the radio receiver and start shooting! This is easy to use and effective in lighting dark areas not covered by my primary flash. Cam-O-Rama said it was like new and it is, clean, works well, in box with sleeve and manual. Highly recommended for use as a remote flash but not compatible with most digital cameras as a primary strobe.
