I believe DigitalsMania has it - can't seem to find it but it's the same but apparently it comes with an adapter.

There is one account of an Alpha user who has it here:

Thanks chiggy! That's exactly what i need.

Ah thanks for finding it!

chiggy, this would be good for you - with the adapter which is quite expensive otherwise, you can use the Sunpak PF20XD on your Alpha:

oh, by means of adapter, you are asking me to get a flash adapter to mount the sunpak on my alpha?

What's the big difference between F42 and F36 ar?

guide number and F36 is from minolta 3600HS if i am not wrong:)

In terms of how powerful it is le?

if not mistaken, it is calculated based on ISO 100 at full power, guide number 42 can reach 42m, and 36m for 36..something like that:)

should be feet instead of meters i think

Sony flashes are named after their guide number in meters at maximum zoom.

F36 = 36 meters at ISO100 zoomed to 85mm maximum
F56 = 56 meters at ISO100 zoomed to 85mm maximum
F42 = 42 meters at ISO100 zoomed to 105mm maximum
F58 = 58 meters at ISO100 zoomed to 105mm maximum

Then, you need to divide it by your F-stop.

So if your aperture is F5.6, then the F56 at F5.6 will only reach a maximum of 10 meters at ISO100, 85mm zoom.

You can double the flash distance by increasing ISO by 2 stops - so, at ISO400, the F56 at F5.6 will reach 20 meters at 85mm zoom.

chiggy, yes (though, it's not quite as useful other than it being a lot higher than your pop-up flash.) That said direct flash is the way to go over large distances.

Radeon: no, Sony's guide numbers are measured in meters.

Oooh. Then the angle it can turn le? As in up and down?

my bad,

i think i got the wrong info at the flash photography workshop

the reason for me that i got that flash was to play as a slave flash for model and product shooting
spending another RM59 for a hotshoe adapter to make it a main flash would be a waste which I know I will rarely use it as a main flash
