What other types of economical flashes can I use for full TTL control as I have SB700 and want to expand my setup and nikon flashes aren't cheap :)

I have used Metz 50 AF-1 (for Nikon) flashes with the Odin and they work well

Yes, I do so all the time. In fact, I have not had much luck figuring out using this flash on camera and getting the control over exposure I need. However, I pound on it all night long off camera using Nikon's AWL to control it in TTL mode and sometimes manual mode. It's well worth the money unless it's your first and only flash then I suggest getting a Nikon flash or something else like a Phottix maybe although I have not tested one of those they seem well respected by the brand worshippers who prefer the camera brand :) I have not tested the flash responding to a Canon camera but when am around a Canon user I will give it a try. I leave it in cn mode (Canon and Nikon) and it works just fine as a remote flash.

Hi Jeffrey, I use my Bower SFD728N Automatic TTL Flash for Nikon i-TTL for a Nikon D60. It does the job for the price anyway but don't expect too much out of it, i.e. doesn't look tough enough to be used for long and extended periods of time. I am happy with the flash for what I use it for.

I'm looking to do 3 point lighting with my 5dmii will this flash control 2 additional flashes? If so what are the two other flashes to purchase?

Yes, this item is compatible with D3200 and SB700, but it doesn't support TTL.

I have had substantially better battery life than that with my copy and Eneloop NiMH batteries. However the flash will definitely not work in TTL mode except with a Fuji camera. Slave mode will definitely work fine, and probably manual mode as well.

It has a Nikon mode and a Canon mode. I've used the Nikon mode for TTL exposure and it works fine. Haven't used the Canon mode. The manual is a bit sparse and poorly written in English, but I was able to figure it out.

NO. This flash is full manual, no CLS, TTL, or High-Speed Sync. But it is built like a brick. In a good way. There are (all of a sudden) a bunch of third-party manufacturers building products that have Nikon or Canon's proprietary TTL technologies built in. I don't know about other manufacturers, but I know this: everyone is using the Yongnuo brand flashes and digital controllers. They fit right in with your existing Nikon gear, and while they aren't built as well as the LumoPro, they are around $100/ea, so if it breaks, get another one. Or three. At these prices, you really can be like Joe McNally and have a bucket of speed lights. Here is the flash on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN565EXN-USA-i-TTL-Speedlite-Warranty/dp/B00I44F59A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428023722&sr=8-2&keywords=yongnuo+nikon+ttl Make sure you buy the latest version. When you view the page, you will see the wireless triggers in the accessories pane. Hope this helps.

Hi Adelqui,As Mark already said the sb28 is really only useful in manual mode on your d5100. It does not have i-TTL metering as the newer flashes; sb7-,8-,900 which do a great job automatically adjusting flash exposure. The sb28 is one of the most powerful Nikon flashes which makes it great for bounce flash and off-camera with umbrellas and other modifiers. If you don't mind setting flash power levels manually, I highly recommend the sb28 for its power and durability. It is also very affordable compared to other flashes!

There's the Canon Speedlite 270EX. Its small but not very powerful though it can be bounced off the ceiling (only) in landscape orientation for much more flattering light. The flash uses annoying light pulses in order to assist the camera's auto focus in dim light (more advanced models use a low key red focus assist beam). I can't find a listing for one directly from Amazon right now so be careful who you buy it from. The Sigma EF-530 DG Super is a full-featured powerful flash - I was quite happy with my old EF-500 Super - which offers some features only found on Canon's high-end Speedlite 580EX but its not all that much cheaper than a 430EX II. You'll find the quality of no-name third party flashes varies quite a bit so be very cautious about trying to go too cheap. Metz has a very good reputation for their high end flashes but I'm not really sure about their cheap models. Sunpak has been making good quality flashes for many years but, again, I'm not entirely sure about their cheap models. I'm not sure I'd trust any other brands as they are entirely, or nearly so, all re-labelled Chinese imports of unknown quality. By the way, whichever flash you decide on, be sure to pick up a set of NiMH rechargable batteries. You'll get more shots and shorter flash charge-up times among other advantages. Look for low-self-discharge/pre-charged/hybrid batteries like Sanyo Eneloops. These batteries are made to hold a charge longer while sitting unused so your flash will always be ready to go (standard NiMH will lose their charge over time at a faster rate).

i use these with a nikon d90 camera. the flashes i use is a sb900 and a sb700. i have used a couple of times and feel very comfortable. i have not used with off brand flashes. they do have on and off switches on top which are difficult to flip when flashes are attached. so you have to take flashes off then turn off or on. i will purchase another set hoping i can use with 2 remote flashe, along with my master flash on my camera.. hope this helps

Hi, I all suggested you use only Nikon flashes, I buyed a Vivitar because the price bud ain't worked, so I pay double.

thank you very much for the advice... SU-800 is very interesting unit indeed. at adorama Sb-800 is about $330 and the SU-800 is $245. and the SB-600 is $176I find it more feasible if I order the SU-800 with another SB-600 by just adding only extra $90 instead of buying the SB-800 and mount it always on my D40.this will give me room for more creative light control.which is a better choice for an amature with a D40?buy SB-800 only? or, SU-800 with SB-600 for extra $90?

If your flash has a hotshoe it will work. It won't send TTL information, but that doesn't bother me as I shoot so much in manual anyway and like to be in control of my exposure.

It should work for any flash that has a manual mode. I do not know if TTL would work, but you can set flash power manual, and it will work!

I have a D800 and Sb 900 and Yongnuo YN568EX flash , and they work al the time the SB9oo control the other flash, I had problem with the SB 800, it will not communicate in TTL and was not able to adjust.
