I just saw the F20 flash behind the glass in Sony The Curve just now. Wow... got me thinking, Usually when I want to travel light to events where I just want to take photos for the heck of it I just stuff my A350+SAL18250 into my ThinkTank Digital Holster 20, so I have to rely on the built in flash which while it works, would be great if I could bounce it. And I've tried doing all the tricks to defuse or bounce the flash, nothing really works well.

But looking at the F20 flash... if the price is right, and it can fit in the Digital Holster.... I'd seriously consider it! Luckily I haven't gotten a Cobra to replace my F36 yet if not my financial controller aka wife would be screaming "what do you mean you need both a HIGH END and LOW END flash?" tongue.gif

yeah it's physically on display, I didn't know about it cause I haven't been keeping up with the news of the new releases since I wasn't too interested in the new batch this time. And then.. I saw the F20... interesting...

F36 was one year ago when I bought my camera, so now it'll just be like "I got this so I can use it more often" it would just sound bad if it was AFTER I got the Cobra

hey, want to ask why ext flash gun need to put diffuser, it is already bounce to ceiling still need this?

Well that sounds wrong to me, better to consult the other sifus too. But to me, you'd want as much light as possible to reach the top and bounce back down. Unless you're using a gel to try to cast some colored light on the subject I guess.

Or if it's a really LOW ceiling. tongue.gif
