flash works well on aps-c bodies, thanks to the small form-factor, however at focal lengths of 20mm or lower, you can see a lot of vingetting where the flash just doesn't cover the whole sensor

I have had this for a few weeks and have used as a bounce flash indoors and direct (fill) flash outdoors. It is powerful for it s size and produces nice results. It slips onto my A7C hot shoe without much effort however it is a very tight fit on my A7IV which is strange. I have read that it is a common issue on both the A1 and A7IV. It works fine once pushed home but be careful not to break it!

Having bought 3rd party flashguns in the past I decided to try a Sony flash with my Rx10 IV. The flash is very lightweight, portable and quite powerful for its size. I have it works very well with the rx10 and exposure seems far better than other flashguns I have used. The only disappointment is the head doesn't swivel.

Compact Flash with Light Intensity Control Linked to Camera Face Detection.
The HVL-F28RM is a compact flash designed to match Sony’s mirrorless cameras for a compact, manageable system, and offers the type of reliable, stable performance that only a genuine Sony product can provide. When compared to the HVL-F32M, the HVL-F28RM features a 12 percent reduction in volume and 7 percent reduction in weight. This compact, easy-to-use flash unit delivers the capabilities and dependability to meet the needs of both professional and advanced amateur content creators.
Consistent GN28 Light Output, Optimized Light Distribution & Continuous Flash Performance.
The new flash features Sony’s newly introduced flash control linked to camera face detectionv advanced technology. When used with a compatible camera, the balance between the light falling on the subject’s face and ambient light is evaluated to automatically adjust accurate white balance so that the subject’s face is rendered with natural, lifelike color. In addition, flash compensation, light ratio, and other detailed flash parameters can be controlled directly from a compatible camera.
Dust & Moisture Resistant Design.
When the HVL-F28RM is mounted and locked onto the Alpha 7C, Alpha 7S III, Alpha 7R IV and Alpha 9 II, durability to dust and moisture is improved, even when used in challenging outdoor environments.
Simple, Intuitive Operation With Minimal Controls.
The new flash also features a built-in wireless radio trigger for reliable flash triggering when mounted on a compatible cameraxxvi and paired with an off-camera unit. When used as a transmitter, the HVL-F28RM can control up to 15 flash and/or receiver units in 5 groups at distances of up to 114 feet (35 meters) for extraordinary lighting control and versatility. The HVL-F28RM is powered by two AA (LR6) alkaline or NiMH batteries. A fresh pair of alkaline batteries can provide power for up to 110 continuous flashes (1/1 manual flash with alkaline batteries).
