Fisheye-Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 lens - Not for D40 !


You are looking at one of the most gorgeous looking lens in 35mm SLR photography - a lens that can actually see behind itself !

Nikon SB-600 versus SB-800 Flash Comparison














From the Ken Rockwell site:

These are Nikon's latest flashes. They are very similar

These new flashes are completely backwards compatible
