Customer Reviews

Sony HVL-F56AM Flash
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!

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).
