The SB-15 has two Auto modes, A1 and A2. If I set the ISO arrow to  
320, for instance, the f stop for A1 and A2 settings are shown in  
different colors. In this case f16 or f8. You then set a switch to A1  
and A2. At f8 the auto range would be between about 20ft and 3 ft.   
It also has a manual mode and a setting when using the wide angle  
diffuser. I bought mine used in mint condition from B&H for $33. That  
included the snap in diffuser and the case. It takes AA cells.
