hi all, anyone knows where i can find a decent nikon sb-600 or sb-800 second hand flash? what prices shld i be looking at? or is it better to get a new flash? pls help!
expensive: new flash, less chance to brake down under normal usage, and you have 1 year warranty.
less expensive: gray set flash, (parallel import set), new flash with shop warranty (none agent warranty)
cheaper: used set, price depends on condition, with remind warranty will be higher price. expired warranty set will be cheaper, any brake down have to pay repair fee.
I would suggest getting a brand new flash because you do not know what the condition is like of the used flash, worse, you wouldn't know how much it has been tortured. =D Just some food for thought
ic... yeah thats also one option... but some feel that it aint as strong as the original flash. (e.g. 580EX Mk II)... heard something about the bulb wearing out as we cant tell how many times the previous user has fired the flash right?
