Is there any particular reason you're asking for Bower? Theyre not the most common manufacturer and most people dont have any/much experience with them. Frankly, most of their stuff isnt that great.

thank you for the suggestion.
I thought of using them as slave flashes, thats it.

Sure will go for branded one.

thanks

I bought a bower SFD926N nikon i-TTL AF for $100 (guide no 125', bounce, swivel, full manual controls, optical slave mode. Its just under the equivalent of the sb600, but u cant control it in commander mode and it only dials down to 1/16 or 1/32 instead of 1/64 in the sb600.

If you only have $100 for a flash, are just a hobbyist like myself, and dont plan on doing much with radio/infared triggers, id go with it over a sb-400 or sb-600. I later found used sb-600 for $125 and jumped on that, but i was satisfied with the bower.
