You want to pay for a $10 adapter and turn the new US$329.95 toy into a manual only flash?

Be my guest.

SB700 is positioned as a move up from SB600. That is why they did not put in those features. Those who need the power and speed of use should still go for the SB900.

I am aiming at a couple of SB700 myself.. but I will wait after the initial BBB madness subside.

But if you ever use a SB900 you would realise the controls are actually more intuitive on the SB700. What a waste

*facepalm*

That was in reply to the SB700's lack of PC sync connector.

Did I mention that the tedious process of using gels are gone?

Really ?

Based on Nikon website, SB-700 is using hard type of gel filters.

Not the soft type like the ones for SB-800.

I was hoping that the SZ-3 would be compatible with SB-900. But from the looks of the soft dome it probably won't.

Anyone knows for certain?

This is the solution:

But not $10.

Ah I was reading too fast. :embrass:

For me, SB700 is more tempted than the new lenses ;p

Thanks for the dimensions bro.

Get it from Nikon site: (W x H x D)

SB600 Dimensions 68 x 123.5 x 90mm (Approx.)

SB700 Dimensions 71 x 126 x 104.5mm (Approx.)

SB800 Dimensions 70.6 x 127.4 x 91.7mm (Approx.)

SB900 Dimensions 78.0 x146.0 x 118.5 mm (Approx.)

I think SB700 layout is too crowded, small body with too many buttons.
Not a surprised that there is no space available for PC chord.

Think will get one to try. The incandescent hard type filter is good for those who always shoot in warm ballrooms or any venue with always brightly lit incandescent or 2700k fluorescent. Like Orchid country clud main ballroom recep, Hilton 3rd sty main ballroom.
And yeah that what....UIC building 6th sty what's the name of that Cantonese restaurant? Noble House right. Try to overpower them + shooting quite a lot of shots and you risk blowing your tube fast & prematurely (ie spending money).

PS. SB-900 cannot get such hard type filters right? Is there? The soft type filters, gone case if you are shooting a lot.

SB-900
Guide number (20°C/68°F) 34/111.5 (ISO 100, m/ft), 48/157.5 (ISO 200, m/ft)
SB-700

Guys.. Stupid question.. How come no one compare SB 700 with SB 800?

Coz SB-800 is discontinued. So you can only get second hand ones these days.
