Do you all believe in high end 3rd party flashes like Metz? Anyone done any comparison between the Sony HVL-F58AM & the Metz 58 AF-1? The Sony has the cobra head where as the Metz has the secondary flash. Sony is RM230 more than the Metz though. That's.. 25%.

Oh. +-300k is quite a lot wor. I've seen cheaper options. Just the ring only. Like a torch light one. Always on. No need to press shutter like flash gun like that. Only RM100+. But colour bluish one..

They should include like a hot shoe converter in the box. Isnt that just unfair to us Sony users? So if we do upgrade where are our flashes gonna go? Or Sony expects us to buy their hot shoe converter at RM500? Edit: Wow. I love the new battery grip. Dont need to remove the battery door and the internal battery anymore!

QUOTE(albnok @ Sep 13 2012, 03:57 PM) I read somewhere that the A99 comes with the ADP-MAA which lets you use the F20-F58 flashes. The F60M definitely comes with the ADP-AMA which lets you use it on the A100-A900/NEX-7. Both adapters go for USD25 so thankfully, no more RM500 adapters! Yup the flash. Thats great. How about the new flash, the LED lighting, is it like Metz flash where you can use the LED light for filling flash forward while the flash flash for bouncing? I think the a99 is made more for videography. Everything is related to videography. Even the new flash's LED is made for videography!

QUOTE(liquiddog @ Sep 25 2012, 02:22 AM) Guys, my f58am doesnt seem to flash anymore despite the camera settings hasn't been changed. -test flash works -wireless works but, fill flash doesn't. Is there something im missing? i've set camera to M mode and the camera displays the "flash signal" when the flash is attached. It should fire by right? thanks for your reply in advance.  You mean when the camera is on the hot shoe or? Try using an alcohol swab or an eraser to rub the hot shoe. Also, when you put the flash into the hot shoe does your shutter speed increase to 1/160?

My a350 buyer complains of an in-body stabilizer malfunction. Roughly how much would that cost to repair?
Btw, time for a new thread.
