Flash photography is not easy for me. My manual focus lenses are harder to exact focus when it’s dark. The SB-15 is pretty simple and has good support in the manuals available online. It’s small and durable and there were many available online from the various companies that support film photography. I bought mine at an auction.
I use the SB-15 for my FE2 and my FG. It’s a nice compact flash that fits easily in a small bag. I’ve had pretty good success with it so far. I use TTL (through the lens) metering and the flash settings are easy. Because it works for the two cameras I use, I have been carrying it quite a bit yet I don’t use it as much as I thought.
I’m seeing that taking pictures at night, the quality of the images I get back is directly related to the time and thought I put into them. Although the SB-15 is small, for now, I hesitate to use it for any pictures that I really want to illuminate. As an amateur photographer, I’m still developing my skills and I’m trying not to waste film. Because the SB-11 is so easy and illuminates such a large area, I’ll back off using the SB-15 until I have a better understanding of flash photography. I’m still going to use it and I’ll keep this page updated to track my progress.
