SBR-200 Speedlight
The SBR-200 is a dedicated macro
Speedlight. With macro flash photography
it’s best to get your flash on axis, or on the
same level as the subject. In macro photog-
raphy, your lens is usually very close to your
subject, which ends up blocking the light
from an on-camera shoe-mounted flash.
This is where lens-mounted flashes come in.
The SBR-200 Speedlight is attachable to
your lens via the SX-1 attachment ring. The
SX-1 is sold separately from the SBR-200, or
you can buy a kit that includes it. Nikon
offers two versions of the kit:
✦ R1C1 kit. This kit includes two
SBR-200 Speedlights, an SU-800
Commander, and the SX-1 attach-
ment ring.
✦ R1 kit. This kit includes two SBR-
200 Speedlights and the SX-1
attachment ring.
The SBR-200 can’t be mounted to a hot
shoe and fired from the camera. It can only
be controlled with the SU-800, the SB-800,
or by the on-camera Speedlights of the
D200 and the D70/D70s.
More macro lighting techniques
are covered in Chapter 6.
