Where is SB-600 made from ?

[gUARDSbOY]

Saw some shops are selling the SB-600 that are Made In China.
Is there any other batches that are made in Thai or Japan ?

Also anyone can advice where the SB-800 is made from.

Thanx

From the last I know SB-800 are made in Japan and SB-600 are made in China. I don't think they are made elsewhere.

Same issue as where the D80 is made from.

From experience, the rubber piece with the word "Push" to release the flash head of the SB-600 (Made in China) will come off (Read related thread), and it has happened to both my SB-600s! Whereas, both my SB-800s (Made in Japan) are fine.

Both these models are made in South Africa, by the same exploited children with just US$0.50 per day as pay and the ones that brought u Nike and Reebok.
