Verdict:

This is an excellent flash, it packs allot of power and it has a built in slave function. Although the SB-26 is not a Nikon CLS flash, it can be a great unit to add to any existing wireless flash set-up. Value for money is excellent, you get a powerful flash with a built-in slave. The SB-26 is a it more bulky then the newer SB-600 and SB-800, and the dual lock on the flash head is rather inconvenient. Do note that the older Nikon flashes will not give you TTL on a Dslr. All in all this is a great flash unit.
