Customer Reviews

More than happy...
I use this flash extensively as a wedding photographer. I purchased the Gary Fong diffuser and it gives me even more superb images. I'm pleased that I purchased this flash.

My only complaint is the less than informative manual. Other than that, it's a great investment.

Sony HVL-F56AM flash
Had to wait for a month as the flash was shipped to my brother (US only shipping). Just used it extensively (+400 pics) at a wedding with great results. Tried and failed to trigger the flash by wireless signal from Alpha 100 camera (must read the manuals again, I suppose).

Excellent Flash
I cannot for the life of me figure out how I got along so long without this flash! I photograph old bars and taverns and most of these places are very dark inside. Short of asking the owner or manager to turn on the lights, I have had to painstakingly take the pictures in the dark and hope to lighten them up later. With this flash, you have nothing to worry about. You can control the length of the flash and there are so many other great features, it's hard not to recommend this flash. It comes with a manual and a stand so you can use it with a remote, but it is practically user friendly. Getting aquanted with it took no time at all and the manual is great for just in case I need the help, it is easy to figure out on your own. No brainer, if you need a flash for your Sony DSLR Camera, this is definately the one.
