The product performs as intended....great! The reviews are accurate, a lil' heavy, but well worth the money.

Powerful flash, easy to use. With the clever design, the typical flashbracket is no longer required. The flash will stay centered above the camera aperture for both landscape and portrait shots.

This strobe is perfect for weddings and events in that it allows me to go off camera without changing settings. The bounce capabilities are awesome. I plan on buying at least 2 more.
One thing Sony could improve is the hot-shoe connection seems inadequate for such a large flash. No connection problems yet though.

I used it over the weekend at a birthday party and the results were excellent.

I use this flash extensively for wedding photography. It has made my flash bracket obsolete.

It also allows for easy control of up to three groups of stobes, all at different levels.

Only draw back so far; it doesn't fit in the softbox I use (Lastolite -EZYBOX). Instead I use it with an umbrella or mounted directly on the camera.

Makes things a lot lighter, by eliminating the need for a flash bracket. Vertical shots have the flash positioned above the lens.

I bought the Sony HVL-F58AM Wireless Flash last month and I love it. I particularly like the multi stepped swivel positions that allow you to bounce light in horizontal and vertical formats at any angle (even into 120º tilts) throughout a series of shots with the same light consistency. Yeah, it's a big gun and hefty, but it's built solid and fires multiple rounds faster than anything I've ever used before. All the weight in this unit comes from the batteries. It can keep up with a fast moving reception line at a wedding or at a military promotion and has retractable diffusers for wide angle which is a big help and a quick fix when working the crowd. I initially bought 2 inexpensive SunPaks with slaves for extra fill backup in large rooms, but now I'm thinking of going ahead and getting 2 more of these units instead just because they are so fast in recycling, so solidly built and can go for such a long time with a good set of rechargeable batteries. The only thing negative I might say about the flash is that it has a small bit of wiggle room when mounted on my Sony A350 hot shoe and attaches slightly shakey in comparison to the way everything else seems to lock rock solid into place. I can't say for sure whether the camera hot shoe or the flash connector is the culprit, but that's one minor improvement Sony might make to this otherwise EXCELLENT flash. I'm glad I got it.
