    Hello Arkady and patrons of a wonderful forum!
    For a very long time I have been a reader and student of this site from Arkady. Here's a problem I drew with the SB-900. In the fall, I bought this device from a friend of my acquaintances on the cheap. I have D7000 and SB-600. But I wanted SB-900, especially almost for "freebies", and free cheese only happens in ... When I bought it, I checked it, everything seemed to be fine. I take pictures of my granddaughter at school in the gym and immediately shock. Well 600-ku guessed to take for every fireman. Rearranged and removed the holiday. Began to deal with the 900th. The reason is all the pictures are underexposed. I had to increase the power by +1,0, i.e. to the maximum. The question is, what is the reason, a capacitor or a lamp. The flash functionality works without problems. And who knows what this "freebie" will cost me. And with an amendment of +1.0, my 600 was not near. Also, where can I find the serial number to find out how old she is?

      To your question from 14.04.2016/15/0,3. I asked the question myself, and I answer it myself. In short, I ordered a lamp for EBEE, it cost about 3,5 "forever green", a month later (day after day) it was delivered to Nizhnevartovsk. I went to a friend of the radio elector, he changed it in three hours (he saw it for the first time). We checked everything works, everything is ok. But the +0,3 correction still needs to be entered. Conclusion, we think and a hooked capacitor. There is already some experience of repair. We will replace. I have already shot about XNUMX thousand pictures with a new lamp. So far, everything is normal. The +XNUMX correction is, as it were, by default ... My advice to those who buy from hands, i.e. used - carefully check on the camera, as well as me. Turned on - puffed, and gave the money. And if you get caught like me, it's okay, we Russians will repair everything, though in a Russian way, but it will work. Something like this. Sorry for the pathos ...

    Yesterday I accidentally became the owner of such an outbreak. I’m familiar with trying out my kit and gave it to me for a very cheap price. I will use it with an old d80.
    I understand that for such a carcass it is very cool, but still I got it cheaper than used sb600.
    Here I would like to clarify - when using full-frame lenses (35-70 2.8d) on a crop, should the flash take into account the form factor correction? By changing the focal length on the lens, the flash also changes the focal length and displays the same as on the lens. Shouldn't the focal length be multiplied by 1.5? Or is it not taken into account in the part of the flash, is it enough just to specify the type of camera in the flash settings (fx, dx)?

      Yes, I have to consider it. But the focal ones should not be multiplied by anything, as they were and remain

      Should not. It makes no difference whether or not you use the full-format lens. Indicate the type of matrix, and the lens at least with 6x6.

      Zoom can be set manually through the flash menu.
      When changing the values ​​of the zoom, the motor should buzz in it and the reflector physically under the glass
      move. If this does not happen, then for repair.
