Jim,

Once you start playing with flash two things will become important to you.

1) Ability to operate the main flash off the camera. For that you will be looking at a remote lead like a used SC-17 or SC-28.
2) At least 4 manual flash settings, but the more the merrier.

I have the SB-600 manual somewhere on my machine so I will look at that to see what it offers.

Anything METZ gets my vote as its a second to a camera brand job. So I will search the Metz site.

Some sort of £££ would be seriously helpful in searching the used market. One thing you need to be aware of in the used market is TRIGGER VOLTAGE. Some of the older kit will crucify the electronics in your camera.
