Excellent entry to mid level flash
Bought this flash to use on my Sony A55 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's easy to use and works beautifully. Didn't need a pro level flash, just needed something powerful enough to take pics of the grandchildren in dimly lit rooms of approximately 20 to 25 feet maximum size. It bounced off my 11 foot ceiling and imparted a warm, balanced light across the subject of my picture at a comfortable distance using my 18 - 55 zoomed in to 55. It bounces off of walls as well, which gave a unique perspective to my picture, like light coming in through a window. It isn't overly tall or heavy, so didn't make my camera difficult to hold or manuever. Very nice flash for us older folks who don't need all the bells and whistles, just something powerful enough to do the job indoors in average sized ...

great flash for Sony under $500
I did not want to spend the money for F58AM, so after reading many reviews I went with the 42. It was a great choice. I get the features without the $500 price. It totaly blows away even the name brand flashes when mounted on an Alpha, as it should. Don't waste money on non Sony flashes if you really want them to work properly with you Alpha. This flash may not be the flagship of the Sony line, but the performance for the money is exceptionable. The diffuser is a bit on the flimsy side, but that is really all the bad I can say about the construction of the unit. With a 24mm prime portrait lens this flash rocks when used wireless. When camera mounted using a 18-250mm sony lens the performance from about 22-2oomm is very good profiding flash to the full field, when at 18-24 you do get ...

When camera mounted using a 18-250mm sony lens the performance from about 22-2oomm is very good profiding flash to the full field, when at 18-24 you do get some shading around the edges, but that get cured pretty well with the diffuser. Twist and tilt head is great and I do like the lock features of the flash. It's a bit particular with the cameras settings fo HSS but once you have it set it performs great.

A must have for compatible Sony camera owners.
Wireless = Total flash freedom. Either on Auto or Manual the choices to set up the flash are great and easy. Fast battery power recycling. Great TTL (Thru The Lens) metering.

Great flash, easy to use
Replaced a Sigma flash that was not working with my Sony bodies. The Sony flash works as it should, and is easy to use. Flash pictures turn out great. Much better coverage than built in camera flash.
