Nikon SB-900 Flash- Shoe is Thicker Than Normal? Causing Problems?
[Update: Confirmed per the Strobist. See the next post.]
This thread on flickr is stating that the SB-900 flash has a thicker shoe than the SB-800 and similar flashes and apparently, this is causing trouble for people who try and mount the flash directly to various accessories.
The SB-600 not only drops a pin into a hole like David Hobby mentioned, but also raises two (very) small clamps from the level of the metal base, e.g. to prevent falling out of non-Nikon accessories.
It looks like it’s the same for the SB-900 …
I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere else, however, some I’m filing it under Rumors for now.
This is the only camera store that NikonWatch trusts- never any hassle, gimmicks, or problems:
