“A portrait is not made in the<br />

camera but on either side of it.”<br />

— Edward Steichen


PACKAGE<br />

• Carrying case<br />

• Flash unit<br />

• Color Temperature Gels<br />

• Diffuser Cap<br />

• Flash Base


FLASH UNIT 1<br />

• Complicated control panel. Hard<br />

to figure out without instruction<br />

manual or YouTube video.<br />

• Head rotates 180 degrees and<br />

tiles -7 to 90 degrees.<br />

• Has built-in wide diffuser cap and<br />

bounce card.


FLASH UNIT 2<br />

• Is the successor of <strong>SB</strong>-900, which<br />

suffers from overheating – Unit<br />

refuses to work when overheated.<br />

• <strong>SB</strong>-<strong>910</strong> has a slightly better heat<br />

management system.<br />

• Did not have any heat problems.


USAGE EXPERIENCE<br />

• Has tiny catches and sensors on<br />

the flash that changes settings<br />

automatically when you put on the<br />

diffuser cap/wide angle cap.<br />

• Tiny sensors wore out after a<br />

year. Had a lot of problems<br />

dealing with this flash.<br />

• Repairs are expensive, and not<br />

worth it.


SPECIFICATIONS<br />

• Guide Number: 34 (35mm ISO 100)<br />

• Recycle Time: 2.3 secs<br />

• Weight: 420 grams<br />

• Size: 78.5*145*113 mm<br />

• Built-in wireless: None


SUMMARY<br />

THE GOOD<br />

• Decently powerful flash.<br />

• Good battery life.<br />

• Accurate TTL.<br />

THE BAD<br />

• Way too overpriced. You can<br />

get 5 good 3rd party flashes for<br />

the price of one <strong>Nikon</strong> flash.<br />

• Weak construct. Breaks after 2<br />

years of usage.<br />

• Bad value for money.
