nope. that flash is intended for a850 and a900 users in which these cameras can use f20 to trigger off-camera flashes.

sifu, am i correct?  sweat.gif

yeap. planning to get one.
just recently got extra money, so wanna get raynox/50mm/ and maybe a cheap flash.

Hako, mike. The f20 can bounce.. So its not entirely for commander mode in FF models

For starter I think its quite good if u're shooting portraits n macro-like shots..
Limited power/function makes it hard to use in more wide photography area

i dont really do wide photography. more of still life stuffs.

but i would recommend starters to get cheap manual flashes... around rm100-200+

unless of course money is not an issue, then f20 is good.

f20am is cheap. it's around 300-400++.

but i saw Rm199 flash in garage sales but not for sony mount. sad.gif

f42. Still it depends on your usage. I've read reviews at alphanatics some regrets buying it. I once contemplate to get it but after reading reviews it really makes me hunger for f42. I suggest you read reviews then try it yourself to see which one is more suitable for you. Getting a lens is ok but getting a flash is totally new experience for us nubs.

an used f42 is like double the price of f20. sad.gif

damn, it's really difficult to focus with 55-200mm and raynox 250. move forward, backward, forward, backward.
