I have an F3-HP. I recently bought an SB-11 and SC-12. The ready light on the SB-11 would not come on with a fresh set of batteries so I assumed it was broken. Sent it back to Nikon, and they sent it back (a month later!) saying that they could find nothing wrong with it. They indicated that it might be the sync cord. I bought the flash used and the cord new, so I doubt it. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas? Could there be something wrong with my camera as well? Any advice would be appreciated!

To Danilo: The Metz MZ 32-Z2 is a hotshoe-type flash, but with the F3, it is a bracket-type one, since the SCA adapter for the F3 consists of a cable with two plugs (one dedicated for the F3) and a socket to carry the flash. Another possibility is the use a SCA adapter for the FM2/FE2 in combination with Nikon's adapter AS-17, providing a hotshoe-type connection.5. From : Roger Moran (roger.moran@cec.eu.int)

I am keen to purchase a F3 HP - having given my first two Nikons to my sons. First, What is the nest speedlight to use - or would a Metz be better? Second, What are the top three focusing screens? Third, What guide/reference book would you recommend?
Now that Nikon has stopped making the camera since October 2000 where would one find one - or owuld it be easier to buy a mint secondhand.
Many thanks and kind regards

To Hermman. Thanks for the advice. Is the flash only available in the US? I'm from Singapore and I must say that it can be difficult to get accessories or camera parts sometimes... Regarding the F3, I'm thinking of whether if I should get a new or a used one? I'm actually in a begininer stage and wouldn't be really experienced in purchasing used products. What should I look out for in a used F3? Is a new one a better idea? Dennis.7. From : Danilo (dwkwan@msn.com)

Regarding this Metz 32 -Z2, is this a shoe mounted flash or a bracket type? SO far I have my SB16 A and have no problem. I know Metz is a reputable name in terms of flash products but hadn't had the chance to really get to know it extensively.
Thanks8. From : Hermann Graf (hermann.graf@basf-ag.de)

To Kenneth: Of course, the TTL capabilities are retained with the Metz MZ 32-Z2, the SCA adapter, and the F3 (as well as non-TTL automatic, manual, and winder operation). Moreover, in non-TTL automatic mode, the MZ 32-Z2 offers one possible fstop more than the SB-16A/B. There is a zoom on the flash, and it can be tilted and rotated. A reflective screen and colored filters are, among others, available as accessories. With another adapter, you can combine it with another camera, and not only with Nikon.9.

I just love this website ! It has been keeping me very busy browsing it for the last two days - I am still not too sure whether I have missed any section of it. Relating to the SB-16A, Mr Herman, thanks for the info, as I am not aware there are some third party options as Nikon flash; doe that retain the TTL flash as well >? Well, the SB-16A is indeed a very well designed and features-rich Nikon flash, but somehow it didin't design to balance with a Nikon F3 camera attached. Afterall, it was a product that was first marketed 18 years ago, and naturally, we cannot use a modern flash to measure its strength and weaknesses, right ? Anyway, the weaknesses have not been translated into reasonably discounted retail price and probably that sucks.10.

To Dennis: My recommendation for a flash with the F3: buy a third-party flash. The SB-16A is, as stated in Leo Foo's website, not very well designed, big, heavy, and pretty expensive. You can buy, e.g., the Metz MZ 32-Z2 and the dedicated SCA adapter to connect the MZ 32-Z2 with the F3, for less than half the price of the SB-16B. The MZ 32-Z2 has the same guide number as the SB-16A, is small, good to handle, and provides better results than the SB-16A (my personal experience). The only disadvantage: you have to buy the bouncer extra.Maintainers for Nikon F3 Series SLR cameras Message Board:
