Vivitar 16A Flash

Nikon F3, which flash for

By Riddle - usenet poster


Which flashes, other than SB-16A, 17 etch, are for Nikon F3?
I am looking for a product of Sunpak or Vivitar which is less than $100.
I can't afford Nikon brand now.

Thanks,
WAC

The Sunpak 433D is a pretty good option and if you specify for Nikon when you
order, it will include the TTL circuitry. The F3 has the wierd Nikon
proprietary hot shoe. You'll need the Vivitar F3 Flash Adapter (#234199) to
make this into a normal hot shoe and retain the TTL option.

You may have a problem getting a ttl flash for that price. You could get the
adapter that turns the F3 flash connection into an ISO hot shoe (the adapter
is an AS-4 I believe), and then use any flash you want. I do this with a
Vivitar 283 and it works fine.
