Nikon SB 800 flash failes to fire; Nikon SB 800 repairs

Nikon SB 800 flash failure explained and flash tube failure occurs.

Due to high volume of rapid shutter releases with the Nikon SB 800 flash, the Nikon SB 800 may experience a flash tube failure or over heating issues. High volume of flash firing by digital DSLR users that have a history of damaging flash tubes and melting cases, diffusion panels and other internal parts. Concider this! In the days of film cameras, a traditional wedding photographer would shoot 300 frames. Today, we have digital wedding photographers that shoot 3,000 or more frames.

That is why today's flash units are repaired more often that in the past. The Nikon SB 800 is a very good flash, but flash tube failure can occur.
