Review on πŸ“Έ Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight: A Powerful Lighting Solution for Exceptional Photography by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Currently the best flash for Nikon SLRs

This flash is perfect for any high end DSLR (I have a D850) that is a full frame DSLR (D750, D800 etc). It has excellent light output and I can even use it with a 70-200mm lens and get enough light in a low-light room. I was happy that it works with most of my lenses. I usually use my workhorse 28-70mm and 70-200mm 2.8f lenses for various indoor shots. I also use it for tag/tag flash fill and find it adapts very well. Caution: Make sure you set MODE to TTL and FP and turn off BL (backlight) unless there is actual backlight of course. I made that mistake and was actually able to salvage all the photos I took that were a bit underexposed.

Pros
  • Superb design
Cons
  • Big and bulky
