Nikon SB-15 Speedlight Flash EXCELLENT CONDITION

Key Features & Specifications:

The Nikon SB-15 Speedlight is a compact and versatile electronic flash designed for manual and early automatic Nikon 35mm film SLRs, such as the FM/FE/FA and FG series. Released in the early 1980s, the SB-15 offers dependable performance for photographers seeking a lightweight, on-camera flash that integrates cleanly with Nikon’s hot shoe and accessory flash systems.

Its tilt/swivel head, multiple auto aperture settings, and support for bounce flash make it a great tool for creating soft, even lighting — especially in indoor environments. With a guide number of 56 (ISO 100, ft) and selectable coverage for 35mm and 85mm lenses, it handles a variety of shooting situations with ease.

Though designed for film-era Nikon bodies, the SB-15 is still a valuable piece of gear for vintage camera enthusiasts, collectors, and analog shooters who demand classic Nikon build quality and reliable flash performance.
