    This flash had great reviews and the one my wife really wanted for real estate photography. The one ordered from BB didn't arrive on time so I had to source elsewhere but my wife said it's perfect

    Had to return, requires additional items (Nikon WR-R10) for radio control, and these have been out of stock everywhere for the longest time. Other than that, decent on camera flash but way overpriced since I couldn’t use the wireless radio control.

    Great Flash from Nokia. I have been using almost a year now. I always enjoy it whenever I use it. Great flash for pro photographers if you want real light.

    perfect for on camera and off remote using the appropriate hardware for remote flash. remote radio only with equipped cameras such as d500 and d850 , d5 . Radio control for through walls. Also works with optical. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because it is a little pricey .

    I just bought item. BestBuy now has 15% restocking fee. Not 100% sure this is the one I wanted, but it was on sale. I will re review after I tried the flash. I feel the restocking fee is very high at 15% and open box discount is 10%. I may have to shop more at B&H or Amazon

    I use this with the WR-R10, WR-10 and the WR-T10 system. I have used this flash at many different angles and captures my subject in the way I like. It takes time to learn. However, once you understand. You can capture great portraits.

    The SB 5000 flash was not in the box. It was a SB 910 Flash in the box! Someone is a thief & switched out the flashes !
