Summary
I bought a NIKON version that supports 3D-multi-sensor-flashes. Cameras are F5 & F1090. Main reason was to have available a flash that supports the focal length 28-135 of the SIGMA lens in the Nikon version 3D. For color film the flash works perfect. With slide film the flash shows a reduced brightness in the corners of the pictures.

Strengths
The focal lenght is greater than most the the other flashes. For all day purposes the Sunpak PZ 5000 AF for NIKON F5/100 is a good flash that makes use of all special flash features of the cameras.

Weaknesses
* The reduced brightness in the corners of a picture is about -1 EV.
* The motor zoom sound makes a loud noise.
