Used to attach motor drives'
release to the SB-6 repeating flash.
SF-1 Eyepiece Pilot Lamp
Nikon Description:
Fits the eyepiece of the Nikon F and Nikkormat cameras. In this way, you can determine
speedlight readiness without removing your eye from the viewfinder; you can compose
and focus while the unit is charging and be ready to fire when the pilot light comes
on. The pilot lamp goes out after firing, indicating that the speedlight has fired.
This accessory consists of an adapter that screws into your eyepiece and two cords
coming off the adapter's left side: the top one is connected to your camera's PC
socket, and the bottom one has a pronged plug to go into your speedlight. Thus it
also handles camera-flash sync, obviating the need for the SC-5/6/7.
Nikon Description:
Permits use of the ready-light built into the viewfinders of F2 Nikon cameras when
the flash unit is used off-camera.
This accessory slides around the F/F2 shoe and connects with the ready-light contact
built into the left side of F2 prisms. It connects to the three-prong sync socket
on Nikon Speedlites and also handles the camera-flash sync (i.e. no need for a PC
plug cord).
Nikon Description:
Provides sync coupling of the flash unit to cameras not equipped with a hot-shoe.
The SC-5 is shorter than the SC-6, lacks the coiling, but performs the same function:
one end is a PC plug, the other is the standard three-prong plug for flash sync.
Nikon Description:
The coiled 1m extension cord permits off-camera shooting with all types of Nikon
cameras.
It seems pretty simple: one end has a two-prong plug that looks vaguely like a US
AC socket-plug (but goes into the three slots on the SB-2/3 and -7E/8E) and the other
end is a threaded PC plug (finally, the threads on your F2 have some use, hallelujah!).
Nikon Description:
Connects the SB-2 (-7E) to the Nikkormat/Nikomat FTN. 25cm (0.8ft) long.
This is for use with cameras and other objects that have an ISO shoe without flash
coupling (i.e. cold shoes); it has the three prongs which mate with the three slots
on the bottom of the SB-2/3 and -7E/8E on one end and a standard PC plug on the other.
Nikon Description:
Mountable on the SB-5 or on the camera's accessory shoe (via the SC-9). Permits selection
of three f/numbers in automatic as well as manual and slave operation.
SW-1 Wideangle Adapter
Nikon Description:
Clips easily over the reflector of the SB-2 or SB-3 to increase the angle of flash
from the normal 56 deg. horizontal and 40 deg. vertical to 67 deg. horizontal and
48 deg. vertical. It also ensures adequate lighting at the perimeter of the viewfield
when the 28mm wideangle lens is used.
SW-2 Wideangle Adapter
Nikon Description:
Clips easily over the reflector of the SB-7E or SB-8E to increase the angle of flash
from the normal 56 deg. horizontal and 40 deg. vertical to 67 deg. horizontal and
48 deg. vertical. It also ensures adequate lighting at the perimeter of the viewfield
when the 28mm wideangle lens is used.
SC-9 Sensor Extension Cord
Nikon Description:
Enables automatic flash operation with the SB-5 off the camera. Permits mounting
of the SU-1 on the camera's flash shoe and provides all ready-light and sync connections.
One end has the cylindrical plug that mates with the socket on the side of the SB-5's
flash head. The other end has an F/F2-type foot on the bottom and a cylindrical socket
to accept the SU-1 on top.
It is possible that the
SK-1 is an early version of the SK-2 and was introduced with the SB-1. It is also
possible that SK-1 was the non-designated flash bracket for use with the BC-3, and
that Nikon did not want to reuse the name with the SB-1. I have no data on the SK-1.
SK-2 Flash Bracket
The SK-2 is the bracket which attaches the SB-1 to your camera. It has three holes in the bottom, for different applications: the round hole is for the F36 (sans Cordless), the middle slot is for most 35mm cameras, including motordrives with centered sockets (e.g. MB-1), and the longest slot is for 6x6 SLRs and the F36/Cordless combination.
The bracket clamp that attaches
to the SB-1 and SK-2 is fairly straightforward: loosen the clamp, if necessary, with
a coin slide over flash handle, making sure that the black quick-release lever faces
up (i.e. towards the head) and that the ridge on the brip engages the groove on the
clamp retighten the clamp, if necessary slide the camera + SK-2 onto the clamp, top
to bottom (i.e. from the QR lever downwards) tighten the silver locking screw on
the back of the clamp reverse 4-5 to remove the camera, making sure to slide the
QR lever towards the flash handle to disengage store the (empty) SK-2 on the SB-1
by putting the pin on the bottom of the clamp into the corresponding hole on the
SK-2
SK-3 Mounting Bracket
This is the appropriate
bracket to use with the SB-5. It has some flexibility for mounting the bracket to
different cameras, and it also has cut-outs to allow for easy access to the open/close
key on F2's (I guess for the F as well, but if you have the bracket still attached
to the tripod bushing ...).
SE-2 Multiple Flash Cord
Nikon Description:
Extends to three meters to connect two flash units for multiple flash operation.
It has the prong-attachment on both ends of the cord, for adding another flash to
your happy mix. Note that, despite having the same guide number and presumably circuitry,
Nikon does not recommend that you use the SB-7E/8E with the SB-2/3 via the SE-2.
I say that if you are brave enough to use multiple manual flash, you probably already
have one of the Forscher ProBacks, which let you take Polaroids to check lighting
ratios and flash setup, and you know more about it than I do.
Nikon Description:
Used to mount a speedlight on the Nikkormat FTN.
This adapter screws into the eyepiece ring of the Nikkormat FTN and provides two
(cold) shoes over the pentaprism: a standard ISO-type and the F/F2-type. Both shoes
are "stacked" over one another, and, had the rewind lever not been in the
way, Nikon probably would have used a similar design on the F and F2 (assuming that
they'd bother to design a special shoe in the first place).
This is a 20cm accessory
cord that is appropriate for use with cameras with cold shoes (e.g. the above Nikkormat
Accessory Shoe) and the Nikon BC-7. One end has the standard PC-type plug and the
other end has a two-pronged connector for the sync socket on the BC-7. Note that
since the BC-7 has the F/F2-type foot, you will need an AS-2 to mate properly with
ISO-type shoes.
BD-2 Extension Cord
As far as I can tell, this is identical to the BD-1 with the exception that the BD-2 is 1m long. The BD-2 definitely has a threaded PC plug, as well.
