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.

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.

I have used this flash with my Nikon F100 for years with fantastic results! I tried lesser brands and was disappointed. It's well worth the money to buy the Nikon SB-28.

That being said, to my surprise, it does not work with my brand new Nikon D200 SLR! I don't know if this means it will not work on *any* new digital Nikon SLRs or if there's simply a compatibility issue with the 200.
