Product Reviews

I’m happy with the quality and performance of the flash.

I found this to be robust and easy to use with my A7iii. The flash covers the focal lengths that I use 21-100mm that I need and shows the range. I spent some time going through the menus and I find them straightforward now.

The flash charges very quickly. The building is not as good as Canon. The hot shoe is made of plastic and I’m not that happy about that. I was expecting a metal hot shoe. The flash head moves without the button.

Bought this to accompany my new Sony camera. As it didnt have a combined flash built in. Great choice. Well pleased

I bought first with intent to buy commander only but ended up buying two 45’s and commander. Confusing setup, had to follow YouTube video but work great, easy menu, and good quality.

I currently own the Sony HVL-F60RM and love it, but needed a second flash. Though this model is a bit less expensive, it works great!

Good features, but it could do to be a bit more intuitive!

Couple of issues: 1. Multi mode is not available when on RCV as slave to commander 2. No PC SYNC socket as per HVL-60RM

Does everything it should very well. Particularly like the strobe. Starts and recycles really quickly with rechargeable batteries. On a balancing act it is more expensive than 3rd party flash guns but you on the other hand it is designed specifically for the camera and so the risk of a missed photo is reduced. Really like it!

Bought this for use with Sony A58 camera and it fits straight on. Good size and weight for camera and so far resukts have been great. No intention to use off-camera or as part of lighting system at the moment but good to know it has the capability. Compatible with newer camera such as Sony A7 I have eyes on. Relatively new to photogaphy the unit appears simple to set up and use.

Followed the steps provided in manual. But was not able to trigger optically. While my old M320 triggers optically. Awaiting technical resolution.

I'm not sure why the quick shift bounce feature was removed but it is a design I really miss. Have been working with the f43 for quite some time I loved how easily it was to handle. The menu system works well but I'm having a hard time getting used to the traditional head movement again.

Have been using it almost non stop for low light shoots and it greatly improves the autofocus and isolated capabilities of my 7rii!!!

I purchased this flash specifically for my a7rii for on-the-go applications when I don't want to carry my bigger light. I'm happy that the flash pattern is nice and round and light is soft which surprised me in a good way of course. I used to own other Nikon flashes before I switched to mirrorless (happy I did) but this one from and for Sony is just awesome! The features like installed radio, which is super easy to pair with FA-WRC1M, focus assisting LED/video light and off course the perfect size for a7rii are worthy of investment!
