Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony HVL-F56AM High-Power Digital Camera Flash for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera

Customer Review: I must of Got A Lemon
Summary: 2 Stars

I've had this flash for well over two years now and I for the life of me can't see what everyone's raving about. Light falloff is a big problem, and underexposure seems to be the norm. About the only way I seem to be able to get around this is to manually compensate on the order of 2 stops to get anything resembling decent lighting. The pop-up on my A100 is much better generally. I've contacted Sony to see if there's possibly a problem with the camera but as of yet they haven't answered me. I was much happier when I was able to use my Vivitar 283/85's. Then again, maybe I'm just an old crab.

Customer Review: Sony HVL-F56AM Flash
Summary: 4 Stars

This flash works very well with my KM-7D. Very powerful flash, very flexible and with welcome features like wireless remote control. Yes, it is a little expensive, but this is a "Must-Have" tool for indoor photograohy, especially for the owners of KM-7D or 5D. Highly recommended.

Customer Review: SECOND FLASH
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Customer Review: Sony HVL-F56AM Flash
Summary: 5 Stars

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!

Customer Review: More than happy...
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
