Usage of Nikon SB-600 on entry level Canon DSLR?
« on: July 06, 2016, 12:10:18 pm »
Team,l

What is the best technical option to use an SB-600/SB-800'on a rebel?

I guess even if it works it will be full manual?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Bernard

Should work just fine in manual flash mode.  The distance scale on the flash will be wrong since the camera won't be sending the flash aperture and ISO information.  Also when the flash goes to sleep, you can't wake it up with just a half shutter press.
