Its maximum guide number of 36 (at 35mm, in feet) and a flash coverage of 24-50mm allow you to illuminate scenes with precision. It is compatible with the Nikon i-TTL system, which facilitates automatic and precise exposure with compatible cameras. For exact technical specifications and full compatibility with your equipment, we recommend checking the manufacturer's datasheet.

The Nikon SB-28 Speedlight is a portable electronic flash designed for Nikon SLR cameras, launched in the mid-1990s as part of the professional Speedlight series. With its robust construction and advanced exposure control system for its time, it became a very popular accessory among photojournalists and event photographers who needed a powerful and reliable light source.
Key Features

- Motorized zoom head covering angles from 24 to 85 mm, compatible with a built-in wide-angle diffuser for 18 mm.
- TTL Matrix metering and manual exposure control with 8 power steps (from 1/1 to 1/128).
- Recycling time of approximately 4 seconds with alkaline batteries and 2 seconds with optional external battery pack.
- Dust and moisture-resistant construction, designed for professional outdoor use.
- Compatible with ISO hot shoe and high-speed sync (FP) with compatible Nikon cameras.
Ideal for
Photojournalists, wedding, or portrait photographers working with compatible Nikon analog or digital cameras who seek a reliable, powerful external flash with full manual control.
Condition
Second-hand product inspected by Camera Market. Includes standard 6-month warranty and 24-48 hour shipping from Barcelona.
Is it compatible with my Nikon camera?
The Nikon SB-28 is compatible with the Nikon i-TTL system, so it will work correctly with cameras that support this flash metering protocol. To ensure it is compatible with your specific model, we recommend checking the manufacturer's datasheet or contacting our support team.
What type of batteries does it use?
The SB-28 uses 4 AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium) for operation. They are not included in the shipment, so you will need to purchase them separately. Consult the manufacturer's manual for recycling times and approximate duration depending on the battery type.
Can I use the flash wirelessly?
The SB-28 is primarily designed as a camera-mounted flash on the hot shoe. It does not have a built-in wireless slave mode, so to use it off-camera you would need a sync cable or an external trigger compatible.
What does the product include?
The product includes the Nikon SB-28 flash and, depending on availability, may include its protective case and hot shoe foot. We recommend checking the item description on our website for the exact contents of the shipment. All our products undergo a technical inspection and come with the Camera Market warranty.
