Sony HVL-F43M Flash
Aug 18, 2015 16:52:43 #
I'm using the Sony a6000 e-mount camera for mostly indoor shots, and occasionally outdoor shots with low to no lighting. I'm considering purchasing the Sony HVL-F43M external Flash. Any words of wisdom you can offer concerning this flash unit or another choice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Might be a little too big and top heavy for the a6000. SERIOUSLY. The flash is as big and heavy as the camera.
Think more along the lines of HVL-F20M instead. ;)

I use the HVL-F20M on my Sony HX50V. The flash head tilts straight up, I use a large white plastic card and bounce flash with it, works great. That's why I use the HX50V because it has the flash shoe. I have also used the F60M flash on this camera, yes, this flash is big, but, I can adjust the flash output and I get great balanced flash at sunset, works great.

I use this combo and really like the flash and its performance/ options on the A6000. The HVL 20 is pretty small and doesn't have the features as the 43. You may want to check out the Nissin I40 I understand it is compatible and smaller in size.
