    This wonderful flash unit works flawlessly with my Nikon D500 off camera in wireless mode. It is more expensive than other units but non others are as fully featured.

    I bought the SB 5000 AF to use with the Nikon D850. There are lots of features. If can work well with the bounce diffuser.

    I have to say that Best Buy went out of it's way to help me purchase this speed light. I had been looking for a while based on the glowing reviews of this new system. I have 5 other Nikon speed lights, but wanted to take a try on this newer one. They did make it a bit smaller, and the wireless Nikon system makes it a great unit. I'd heartily recommend picking this one up.

    This is amazing and the recycle times are stellar compared even to the sb700. The only thing that is a major drawback is that the attachments needed to use wirelessly are not cheap and they are backordered

    This is an excellent speedlight. We have used it on a D500 and a D810. It has been very effective and versatile. It has been used off camera in the infrared mode and has worked amazingly well. We use other Nikon speedlights and they work easily and well togeather'

    Having labored over flash synchronization issues in the past, I can say this Nikon SB-5000 meets all my needs without the hassle of trying to get daytime function and line of sight synch arranged. The radio frequency activation with the Nikon Z6 truly is a revolutionary advancement making photography fun again.
