All from the SB-15 on, but the SB16A, SB-17, and the variant of the macro
light for the F3, will fit the 8008 and TTL meter. The SB-15 and SB-27 are
compact, as are the SB-23 and a few others. The higher-power ones
are the SB-24/5/6/8. The SB-24/5/6/7/8 will also permit rear-curtain sync
and the setting of TTL fill ratios (VERY useful!). The best flash/buy is
probably a good used SB-24, unless you don't care about its features,
in which case a used SB-15 is a good buy...
Hope This Helps
