    I just bought a used SB 16. It is always blinking, and ready light in
    viewer of F# is too! I shot a roll of test film and find it to work
    fine. Is this correct? Thanks for any help, Jay

    Sounds like something might be wrong. It might blink for a short time
    when you first flip the ON switch, but should then be a steady light.
    Check near the bottom of this page:

    <http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf3ver2/flash/sb16ab/manual/index1.htm>

    The note states:
    "With the SB.16A and F3-series cameras; IF both ready-lights blink make
    sure that: a. The flash unit is securely locked In place. b. The film
    speed setting on the camera is within the usable range when the flash
    unit is used in the TTL mode."

    You might want to try it again, or at least read up more. If you don't
    have the manual for the SB-16, this site should cover most of the
    settings.

    Ciao!
