Nikon Speedlite SB-11
The SB-11 was one of the two early flash unit with TTL flash control capability. The portable SB-12 is designed for general usage while the SB-11 is a dedicated handle flash for professional applications. It is big and bulky but it was the most powerful flash unit guide number of 36 (ASA 100, ft) Nikon has produced for their manual focus SLR cameras during the eighties. IMPORTANT NOTES When using SB-11 with AF Nikon SLRs: Multi-sensor balanced fill flash is possible with handle flash SB-11 and SB-14. i.e. With SB-11 using with Nikon F5, N90s and N70 and AF and AI-P Nikkor lenses use SC-23 cord; when using it with Nikon F4 series bodies, Matrix-balanced fill-flash is provided (possible as well as with others such as F60x series (N6006, N6000) or F50 (N50) with AF and AI-P Nikkor lenses via SC-23 cord. When using a SB-14, Matrix balanced fill flash is possible with others bodies such as F70/N70, F60 series (N6006, N6000) or F50/N50 via SC-23 cord. Multi-sensor balanced fill flash is also possible with F90 series (N90 series) in combination of AF or AI-P Nikkor lenses via SC-23 cord.
Compatible with all Nikon SLR cameras (TTL flash feature where models applied), the bracket mounting Nikon Speedlight SB-11 features automatic control of the flash exposure to match the flash-to-subject distance. By utilizing a silicon-controlled rectifier and series circuitry, the speedlight is also able to conserve its excess energy for the next shot when shooting subjects at close range thus reducing recycling time and increasing the number of flashes per battery set.
In addition, the SB-11 has a tilting flash head allowing you to bounce the light off the ceiling or walls for more diffused lighting - a technique especially useful when taking portrait or snapshots.
