About this deal

The Nikon Speedlight SB-910 is an excellent professional flash, a slightly improved version of the SB-900. I’ve been using Nikon SB flashes since the days of the SB80DX, and SB800 / SB600, (don’t bother with the SB400) …and I gotta say the SB700 is by far my favorite out of every single one I’ve ever used. To get to the point, they use much more battery power than the Nikon flashes which means you are replacing batteries more often than you would with the Nikon SB-910. I like the basic manual: it has pictures showing examples of what you're trying to do, and how to set the camera and flash to do it. And when taking pictures in certain situations such as in rapid sequence, to prevent the flash tube from overheating, an improved thermal cut out protection has been adopted that slows recycling instead of cutting off the flash.

Recently I also started using Godox gear, including the XProN trigger and X1R-N receiver, that provide full remote control and TTL capability with both Godox lights and my SB-910 and SB-700 Nikons. Even using the flash on-camera, you notice the lag with recycle and it’s pretty frustrating in a professional situation. Anyways, now if you ever see a Nikon pro out there with the SB910, you can just chuckle and roll your eyes at them a little bit. My rule of thumb is, if you NEED to pop your flash that much, (wedding receptions) …then maybe it’s time to set up a couple extra off-camera flashes, ehh?

It's a pity that very few new flashes now that support AA mode which you would agree that works better than TTL.

Color-conversion filters are mandatory for shooting flash indoors if you're shooting in color, and saves me from having to fiddle with gels and self-stick velcro.The SB-26 seems rarer on the used market and I have no experience using one - it may also be a good choice. TTL BL only works with relatively new lenses that can transmit the distance to the target (D, G, E, Z series). In all practicality, the SB-910 runs a long time and recycles immediately as it's actually used in its automatic modes.
