Infact the sony F58 is the cheapest among all brands.. I mean, which flash could give u 58 guide no,180 degrees both ways tilting, strobe effect which a pricing of Rm 1.1k. I know Nikon and Canon has it, around 1.6k and 1.5k respectively while how much is sony? 1.1k ... If you would opt for a cheaper 1, do consider the F42 , its around Rm 750 for a new, bet you could get 2nd hand around 600++ and guess what,all of sony's flash are wireless capable.

Depends.. normal usage of F42 is more than enough, but if u have sufficient cash , just go directly for the F58.. But seriously the F42 works just as great as the F58 =D
