Comments about Sony Sony HVL-F56AM Digital Camera Wireless Flash, Guide Number 56 at 85mm position, ISO 100.:

: Good price compared to other flashes (used to be $299!)This is the most bang of the buck flash available from Sony. Don't expect much out of it since it's an entry level one. The flash comes with a diffuser, case and a flash stand, which is very nice.

Comments about Sony Sony HVL-F56AM Digital Camera Wireless Flash, Guide Number 56 at 85mm position, ISO 100.:

This is a very good flash unit. If you are thinking of buying the HVL-F36AM unit, spend the extra money and get this unit. It has more features than you will ever use and all the features that you ever will. If there is anything that I could criticize this flash for, is, the guide number could be higher.

Comments about Sony Sony HVL-F56AM Digital Camera Wireless Flash, Guide Number 56 at 85mm position, ISO 100.:

My first flash unit, but loving it so far. Great for those times you are caught with not enough natural light. Love that I can angle in lots of directions to bounce the light.

Best flash for the Sony Alpha.
