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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Great match for my Nikon

    I bought this to replace my Sunpak that died (and revived after I bought this, don't it figure.) The SB-24 integrates with my Nikon 6006 much better. Not surprising given that they are designed to work together. It has better light control, a display to show system information and controls for most manual settings. I'll use the Sunpak on another camera.

  • OLD RELIABLE

    Great for the older film cameras or as a "brute" but compact light source for manual use - such as umbrella stands.

  • The Right Light Every Time

    Automatically synchronizes light demand with the camera to control exposure. Also, Nikon produced products are at the top of the quality curve and the SB-24 is no exception.

  • An Oldie but Goodie

    Obsolete flash that works perfectly with an obsolete camera (the Nikon 8008, for which it was specifically designed). Film rules!

  • Nikon SB-24

    The referenced automated strobe flash unit is a compact but powerful strobe flash unit which matches all of the latest Nikon cybernation. It will be utilized with both the F-4 and F-5 35mm cameras. After having dabbled in the digital realm for a few years, have elected to rejoin the ranks of satisfied film photographers. This unit as received was in pristine shape and appears to operate as new, judging by its excellent condition.
