Define "work." It will flash, it will not TTL meter.
Better used as an off camera flash.
>>90621as in will it slide into the slot ontop of the cameraand function
>>90645define function. like>>90621said. it will flash, but it wont use all the functions available.
Make sure the trigger voltage is safe and the circuitry isn't temperamental with modern bodies. I know that flash can have problems with some.It does work well off camera though. If you can get it cheap it is worth getting for that reason.
The trigger voltage on SB-26 is safe for digital bodies, but it will work only in manual and non-TTL auto modes. This can be frustrating if you're used to TTL auto flashes (as you'll have to input GN or ISO/f-number manually on the flash).
All Nikon flash are safe for any Nikon bodies.It will fire manually by adjusting power output.It can be triggered optically.It has a PC sync cord.The best flash for Strobist work. Much much better than my two SB-24s.
>>90728I haven't even heard about some stupid trigger voltages before, and I've been using all kinds of canon, nikon, old braun flashes etc. with my D80.
>>91428Lucky you! Some folks have been caught out by some of the high voltage ones when they've fried the electronics. I nearly fried a digital by trying it without checking once, but when I looked it up I found it wasn't safe for the camera.
>>91432Maybe this applies only to Canon etc. which don't care as much about backwards compatibility as Nikon does?
>>91451Could be. I know some camera brands and models are more susceptible to it than others. I think some folks made up tables somewhere online for reference.
>>91451Nope, trigger voltage applies to Nikons just as much as Canons. I believe that 6V max is the standard for both companies' digital bodies.Here's the chart I normally use to check:http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html
>>91481IIRC the D200 will handle up to 250v. I know I've used mine with 150v numerous times and not had a problem.
