Off camera flash

Hi,

I have a Nikon D40 with SB400 flash. I'm looking to experiment with off camera flash and was looking for guidance as to which model of off flash cable I should consider. There seems to be a few out there, SC15, SC17, SC28 etc.. Which one would be suitable do you think?

Many thanks,

Ian

Nikon UK - Flash Cords

I have the SC28 with a SB600 which enables the TTL functions to work. Some of the lower spec cords will not keep TTL.

SC15 - Is for cameras with a PC connection on both camera and flash
SC17 - Connects between hotshoe on camera and flashgun (unsure about iTTL - now discontinued)
SC24 - For F5 film SLR
SC28 - Connects between hotshoe on camera and flashgun (iTTL will still work)
SC29 - Connects between hotshoe on camera and flashgun (iTTL will still work) & (AF assist on SB800 will work)

Thanks for that Ian. As my D40 doesn't have a PC connection, looks like the SC17 (if I can get one) or the SC28.
