I've worked with a pair of SB26s for years and feel they are far superior to the film-based flash units that followed. Unfortunately they won't work in TTL modes with digital bodies, as there's no film plane. For my digital stuff I have an SB80dx that is excellent, and I can slave the SB26s to fire off of it as well. Oddly, the SB26s work great on my Coolpix 5400, so go figure. Because AFAIK the Coolpix ranges do not TTL meter the flash. They use a flash meter that is in/near the builtin flash. It then uses the TTL mechanism in the TTL flash (ie. tell flash when to turn on and off) to do the equivelent of an Auto Flash to meter. -- Vin Melbourne, Australia Remove no and spam from both sides of the @ sign email address to reply
