Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony HVL-F56AM High-Power Digital Camera Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Customer Review: works with minolta 5D
Summary: 5 Stars

I own a Minolta 5D camera with a Tamron 28-300mm lens and developed a need for a flash. I heard this flash would work so I tried it. it works flawlessly, I can adjust the angle to bounce light off ceilings for perfect pictures. The unit has good flash distance for the zoom lens and does work wirelessly or remotely. I am still playing with the bouncing of light off walls as this flash head swivels both left and right.

Customer Review: Sony flash
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this flash and hope to get another soon. Why two? Because you can use more than one in wireless mode. Enough to set up your own lighting studio for excellent images. The only downside is the less than insightful manual. I bought Gary Friedman's book on the Sony Alpha which includes the flash. Well worth it for what you can learn.

Customer Review: More than happy...
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Customer Review: Sony HVL-F56AM flash
Summary: 5 Stars

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).

Customer Review: Sony HVL-F56AM Flash
Summary: 5 Stars

Great flash - everything it claims and more. I won't bore you with technical details - they are available elsewhere. I was skeptical about spending 3 Benjamins on a flash but it is the best flash for my Sony DSLR that I have found. Just buy it!
