It does have a bulb mode with lock to expose for as long as you want. I've got the one for a Canon camera. If you've got the blub switch on your Nikon and a polaroid shutter release made for the Nikon camera model you have then it should work.

It can't be used for continuous lighting, it strobes by sensing another flash or direct connecting it to certain camera models.

I'm ordering one tomorrow for my Pentax K-x, we'll find out.Based on my understanding of it, it's a cold foot with no contacts, you don't even have to put it on as it's just the power supply. It's not an actual "Flash" It's Continuous Light based on what I gather from some of the reviews.

Hi Marina! I have a D40x, but I imagine the process is similar with the D60. Go to the main menu and choose the shooting mode settings. There you should be able to select remote. The other options available on my camera are single frame, continuous, 2 sec delay, 10 sec delay (these settings require pushing the actual button on the camera to trigger the exposure. Also, you must point the remote directly at the front of the camera as it does use infrared light to trigger the shutter and not another form of wireless. Finally, when you turn the camera off and on, the remote setting is cleared and it defaults back to single frame. Anyway...that is how it all works for me. I imagine the 60 is quite similar. Good luck! Aaron

I don't have a D40 so I really don't know it this works with it. There should be an accessory list in the owner manual that would tell you which remote release works. If you don't have a manual you can download one on Nikon's web site.

Best if you go to nikon website and download the manual. I have a D700 and it won't do TTL.

It can only be focused manually on the Nikon D40x I believe... according to this website (http://www.nikonians.org/reviews?alias=nikon-slr-camera-and-lens-compatibility). I usually use it to check body compatibility with lenses. This lens will work with your camera manually, but the auto focus will not work. Hopefully this helps!

It should work.. the power output is not that off a true nikon flash.. it does not do the off camera I-ttL for the price it's a good on camera flaw.

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] comThey monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year.I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

It will work on Nikon D40 but the ETTL functions won't work. This adapter hot shoe supposed for you to use a third party flash on your Nikon camera. If you need flash's ETTL functions, you will have to use a Nikon flash on a Nikon camera.

Yes, I have a Nikon D40x and it works great! Go hiking with it all the time with the zoom lens and it doesn't bounce around.

It worked great for my Nikon D60 which also has an 18-55 lens (the lens that came in the kit with the camera) so it may work on your Nikon D40x. It is worth a try anyway.

You need an infrared source of light. From what I have read most flashes also generate some IR light but it is not designed. I've read you can also buy IR bulbs from various sources. You just need to make sure that whatever light source you have generates it above 720nm for this filter. You will need a pretty bright light for this to work at night. Even in broad daylight I still had to hold the shutter open for 20 seconds to get enough IR to hit the sensor. Ideally it would be cool to get an IR flash if there is such a thing.

The answer you want depends on the camera. With some it works fine, with some, there is no TTL functioning. Find info on the camera you intend to use and check specifically on that camera. I use mine for a remote flash triggered by an inexpensive radio remote. I do not use it on my D7000 DSLR. I do not know which film cameras are compatible besides earlier Nikon models.

I have a d40x and it worked for a few shots then never worked again. So yes it should if you can figure out how to set your camera for it.
