SECOND FLASH
This is my second flash unit. The first one is still serving me well but with two units I have a lot more control over my lighting. I t does eveything it is supposed to do. The new one is more versitile but at the price this one is hard to beat.

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.
