Nikon SB-400 Flash
This is the flash you’ll want if you wish to be on the go very light weight, or simply if you want better lighting than that of the pop-up unit from your D40x, D50, D70. Indeed is compatible with the rest of the DSLR line but this is a good start for any of the models above. The flash can not be used as a commander or slave within the CLS system. The flash head tilts up to 90 degrees in 0, 60, 75, 90 click increments. The drawback in my opinion is the inability to tilt the flash sideways. While this is no big deal when shooting in ‘landscape’ orientation if bounced from a ceiling, it limits the flash when used in ‘portrait orientation’ creating more notable shadows because we are unable to bounce on the ceiling. Nonetheless as I said, at $129 (approx) it is a great start to flash photography.
