Nikon SB-27 AF Speedlight Unit for Nikon 35mm Film, Digital SLR & Other Cameras - Top Mint In Box

Serial Number: 2101580

Excellent Working Condition

Easy to carry and easy to use. Nikon\'s SB-27 Speedlight offers a guide number of 30 (at 35mm setting, ISO 100,m) and automatic power zoom coverage from 24mm to 50mm. Futhermore the SB-27 features a rotating flash head for precise control of your subject\'s shadow.

The SB-27 was a departure of a standard Nikon flash design since debut of the SB-24. It has a flat panel and a very compact design, something similar to older Nikon non-AF Speedlight like the SB-12, SB-15/SB-17. The pivoted flash head allows horizontal, slightly off center placement when mounted at the center of the accessory shoe in any Nikon AF-SLR but will center vertically when tilts upwards. This highly portable design enables this flash be easily keep and maintain in any photographers' camera bag.

With a slightly compromised power output than some of the comparing Nikon AF-TTL flash units such as SB-24, 25, 26 and/or 28, the SB-27 has a Guide number (ISO 100, m) of 30 (with zoom head set at 35mm), this flash has eliminated some functions found in those higher power Nikon Speedlight (such as Repeating Flash and a less versatile flash heads to maneuver) but added with a few which only can be found in latest Nikon units (such as the built-in reflector cards/wide flash adapter and power zoom heads). However, the flash has great system compatibility with all Nikon AF-SLRs in various flash exposure modes as well as its AF illuminator which works with ALL Nikon AF bodies introduced thus far.

This cute little Nikon flash has an automatic/manual zoom flash head that offers a coverage of 24-50mm (horizontal) and 35-70mm (vertical) and the power output is varied according to zoom head positions set (82 (25m) (ISO 100, m) with zoom head set at 24mm to 112 (34 m) at 50mm setting). Operating just by 4xAA penlight batteries (alkaline, NiCd or lithium batteries), this flash can charged up to 140 flashes and with a recycling time of merely 5 seconds ! Besides, the flash has a power terminal provided should you need to use an external DC Unit SD-7 and/or High Performance Battery Pack SD-8 which provides longer operating time. The back panel display is a combination of switches and a centered LCD panel, the entire design at the rear section is simple and easy to understand and any Nikon users that may have some experience operating a Nikon AF flash will find it quite at home to find its functions.
