About this product
Product Information
- The Nikon Speedlight SB-24 Flash boasts a bundle of features that will enhance the 35-millimeter photographs of any camera buff. Flash photography can require some time to search and develop skills to get just right, but Nikon makes it easier with the SB-24. You can let the equipment do the work with its auto settings or make your own decisions with the manual controls. With the bounce head, swivel head, and TTL flash control, you can get the right illumination in the right place.The Nikon SB-24 can be mounted on your camera through its shoe mount, or it can be used remotely. Its dimensions are 3.1 inches by 5.1 inches by 3.9 inches. This is a very sturdy piece of gear that weighs 13.7 ounces without the batteries. You have the choice of using AA alkaline batteries, AA NiCd batteries, or an SD-7 battery pack for power. The Nikon Speedlight has a flash range from 2 through 65 feet and a guide number of 118 feet at ISO 100.A look at the rear panel controls on this Nikon accessory will give you a good idea of everything that it can do. First, you can choose whether to have the flash sync with the front or rear curtain when it is mounted on the camera. This choice is particularly important when the subject of your photo is moving. Then, you pick your shooting mode. The auto-exposure mode uses the built-in flash meter to set the exposure for you. There is also a manual setting that gives you full control. Multiple flash mode produces a strobe effect, and the TTL selection uses the camera’s through-the-lens meter for automatic exposure setting.The Nikon Speedlight lets you choose between matrix and center-weighted metering, and you can change the power level of the flash from full power to one-sixth strength. You can have further manual control over the light reaching the lens by setting the aperture from f/20 to f/11. Once you have the amount of light set, you can decide where to direct it. The bounce head on this Nikon accessory has a range from minus 7 degrees below horizontal to 90 degrees above. The swivel head rotates clockwise from minus 270 degrees to 180 degrees.All the settings that are in effect when you start to shoot will be shown on the built-in LCD display on this Nikon flash. It can tell you whether you are in auto, manual, strobe, or TTL mode. It displays the film speed, strobe frequency, and flash-covering distance. It will also let you know the zoom indicator, the aperture setting, and whether you have adjusted the power output. In dim lighting, you can illuminate the display with the indigo backlight, so you will never need to guess about which settings are operating.If you need more light than one Nikon Speedlight SB-24 can provide, you can combine it with other flashes. It can sync with as many as four other flash devices. You can also add a wireless controller to your system. This will allow your flash to use its infrared beam to communicate wirelessly with other devices.

SB-24
For starters, I am a professional photographer. Although the SB-24 does not TTL with DSLR cameras, it works great as a manual flash. They are cheap and easy to come by. I trigger mine with pocket wizard remotes, but most less expensive triggers will work. (some at the expense of reliability) The newer SB-26 has a built in slave feature, but the price is a bit more. Pros: cheap, reliable, manual features, durable cons: no DSLR TTL, manual only goes down to 1/16 (although you can stop it down with gels) All in all a great flash for getting the light off the camera. Shoot through an umbrella and you have a great portable lighting solution. You can find more info online. I think the best source is David Hobby's strobist blog.

@$60ish/? a bit more,'HomerunFlash' you'll KEEP. BEST4 MultiFlashSetups
No matter how many aftermarket flashes out there, NOTHING compares to Nikon's Speedlight OEM's- Even Older Ones. The SB24 is a great, **Fully Functional with Nikon's Digital systems, Strobe Flash / Slave Flash, Primary Flash, for those in need of A. just less expensive options(Consider a $20 flash that breaks 1 month after purchase, when you ponder costs). B. It is a fully functional Optical Slave Flash-To ANY other brand Flash that works properly. When combined with any other multi flash setups, its great.(btw the SB24 is 1 of only a few with Optical trigger) It is fully adjustable with an LCD thats viewable, to 1/128th power, it supports Nikons FP strobe feature and fires at higher sync speeds 320+, has bot PC and 3 prone Tether connects, & 3prong aux power source. Full Stroboscopic Function, It DOW not Have Diffuser or Bounce flash pull out card...BUT it rotates, tilts, locks, and for @ the $60 I paid it is much more useful than zany of the, Vivitar(full AF model), Meitz, Hannimax,, and Dedicated fully auto Zeikos.....way back when I was trying to avoid $%00-+ for a top Speedlight. If your reading this than Than I assume you aren't debating "a VS 600,800,900 etc". If you are debating older Speedlights this one, "Per the Strobist himself' is a WINNER, and best value with all features needed. It (on digital) is manual zoom like Yonghou, 560II & under.Read full review

Nikon quality for a fantastic price!
I recently purchased a Nikon N6006 camera. While reading the instructions they mentioned several flash units this being the most recent at that time period. I looked at the SB-22 and SB-23 and decided that this unit would mate well with my camera. The unit is a quality piece of photo equiptment built solid compared to a modern dslr flash units. I purchased this particular unit because of its ttl features and how it should work with the cameras matrix metering system. I haven't processed any film taken with the flash, but i know it has to be an improvement over the units built in flash which i have tried. I've been out of the photography loop for a while but i think with this flash unit in my arsenal i'm well on the way to getting back in the saddle. Because of the wide spread use of digital technology now i find that i am able to purchase quality film equiptment for bargin prices now. This flash has more features than i'll probably ever use. Its manual is comprehensive and can be found on the internet. I do not have any dislikes about this product, got a good solid product at a good price, now all i have to do is put it to use. Compared to the modern digital flash unit that I purchased it is built more solid, has more features and is simple to use.Read full review

Basic, simple...
Perfect for what I use a strobe for. Manual OFF camera fired via trigger. Some call it "strobist" I dunno.. Pretty good on the hot shoe too when you need it as the head swivels straight up and 180 side to side, left to right. Bounce anywhere... Great flash for cheap if you don't need/use all the iTTL auto.

Best Bang for your Buck
If you follow the strobist blog (and if you're serious about photography, even as a hobby, you should), then this is the perfect flash for you. Lots of power (relatively), great battery life, decent recovery time, but best of all, perfect price. You can expect to pay between $65 and $80 for one of these flashes, and it has almost all the functionality of the $160 LumoPro 160 flash (which itself has almost all the functionality of the $440 Nikon SB-800). Don't buy this if you want automatic flash exposures done with an on-camera flash. You're much better off buying the $125 SB-400 for that. These are the perfect candidate for manual, portable, off-camera flashes that will be modified in some way (umbrella, snoot, grid, omni-bounce, etc.). Pro: Portable Good Battery Life Decent power / recharge Cheap! Con: Not as powerful as a strobe, or the SB-800-type flashes (although close) Only steps down to 1/16 power (LumoPro 160 steps down to 1/64th, like the SB-800s) -- you can use neutral density gels to step the flash down further, but it wastes more battery than if the flash could do it natively Zooms to 85mm (LP160 zooms to 105mm) - minor, and if you're a strobist, you'll probably snoot it if you need it zoomed further anyways.Read full review

Excellent for off-camera work
I bought this flash to use off-camera with an umbrella. Size and build quality are a level up from my Canon 430EX. Flash power on 1/1 is almost a full stop more with the Nikon. It offers manual control from 1/1 to 1/16 at full stop increments, PC-sync ports, and a 24-85mm zoom head. Unlike the 430EX, zoom works even if the head is angled upward. This flash is also capable of rudimentary auto-fill on a Canon EOS body with no modifications, though you've got to set the expected ISO and aperture on the flash in advance. Recycle time at full power with Eneloop NiMH batteries is 4 seconds. The range of motion of the flash head is the same as the 430EX, but slightly more awkward because there are separate button releases for tilt and swivel. It does not have the 430EX's built-in wide-angle diffuser. Overall, this is an impressive and quality piece of kit. There's no reason to prefer a Vivitar 285HV except for the ease of manual control. Even there, it only takes about five minutes to figure the SB-24 inside and out.Read full review

Excellent strobist's tool
Great flash, overall highest quality, superb craftsmanship, versatile, durable and reliable. I'm a strobist so I need a flash that is versatile and adaptable, and Nikon flashes are known to be just that!It has manual output control, which is one of the most important characteristics for a strobist, also, it can be triggered remotely, using wireless radio triggers, or optical slave trigger. Power drain is extremely economic so you can make hundreds of shots without recharging batteries which is also a great thing. Finaly, you can get one for less then $150 and that is GREAT!! Shortly, if you are either an entry level strobist or a pro, and you don't want to spend too much money, this is the flash for you.

Great Little Flash
This flash is small enough for a jacket pocket and easy to use off of the camera. Like all Nikon flashes it is well made, and was a film speedlight back in the late 80's, but can be used off camera for digital.

Very Nice for your budget
It works fine on auto and manual camera settings on my Nikon D90. For filll flash set the aperture setting on the flash one stop faster than the camera and then adjust the flash ISO setting to fine tune the fill flash. Example: Camera set at ISO 100, f11 and 1/250, Set flash to f8, ISO 160 to obtain fill flash of -1 2/3 stops. As long as you aren't dealing with quickly changing light it isn't a big deal.

Great features
This is a nice flash however be cautious and know what you are buying. This unit works with TTL only on early Nikon photo and digital cameras. This unit is powerful and has many features and can be bought for a reasonable price on Ebay. Good luck
