A6000 flash options to work with an 18-105mm f4 lens?

The on board flash is too low and shadows are made by the lens. What is a good, possibly non Sony, flash that communicates well? I have several for my old 35mm Nikon that work as slaves from a flash, but I want an on board a option for a free hand.

I have a Godox TT350 for my Fuji mirrorless.
Didn't want a full-size speedlight that would dwarf the camera, making it top heavy.
THIS LINK is for the Sony model.

Thanks. Nicer price, and focal length, range.

Mine works well.
Haven't used the radio feature yet, but I think it's supposed to work with my AD200.

I have a Godox TT685S HSS. Powerful, and full TTL compatibility with Sony e -mount cameras. Expandable system with available controllers etc. Everything you could want for $110.

I also have a Metz mecablitz 26 AF-2 which is really compact but more expensive than the Godox and only half the power.

All Godox/Flashpoint strobes work together, and have the same wireless trigger system built in. I also recommend them as best price and performance. Cheers. Flashpoint is just Adorama camera's branding of Godox, but they are the same strobes.

Thanks. i’ve been looking for a similar small flash for my Fuji X-E2 as well and the Godoy looks like a winner - even has 2.4GHz radio. Now if it would only Radio trigger my Yongnuo slaves. They’re 2.4GHz radio linked also, but my bet would be that the systems are not compatible.

Get the Godox receivers.
