Nikon Speedlight SB-28 / SB-28DX

Another modest update of the top-of-the-line Speedlight model. The SB-28 is somewhat lighter and smaller than the SB-26, and has slightly better recycling and battery characteristics. One feature that was dropped: remote wireless slave capability. Introduced in 1997. The SB-28DX, introduced in 1999, allows TTL use with the digital D1 camera body (the only feature change).
