SC-17 or SC-29 for D70 and SB800?

[enivre]

Hi guys,

Simple question, can i use the SC-17 with my D70 and SB800? Or must i use the SC-29?

I heard the SC-29 is iTTL but not the SC-17, is this true?

Thanks!

U can use SC-17/SC-28/SC-29 on D70 with SB800/SB600, and with all the i-TTL capabilities.

Correct me if I'm wrong:

The SC-17 is just 'extension cable'.

The SC-29 can project the AF Assist grid from the hotshoe mount portion, hence even flash is position sideway, the grid is still projected from the same direction of the camera.

Hm... but in terms of TTL nothing lost right?

Nope, i-TTL remains, these cords are all TTL cords.

I think SC-17 won't work with i-TTL. It's meant for non DX flash such as SB-28 with film SLRs. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

SC-17 and SC-28 is basically the same, the difference is SC-17 is grey, SC-28 is black. And SC-28's hotshoe adapter has a level locking mechanism while SC-17 is a thumb-screw locking mechanism, all else is the sale.

As for SC-29, it's black, hotshoe adapter has a level-locking mechanism, there's an additional of AF-assist lamp (2 in fact) on the hotshoe adapter.
