Flash for Sony cameras

AMD wrote:

I have a Sony RX M III and an A 6000 . I am looking for an external flash for Sony cameras, just for traveling and for large group photography in low light.
I have heard about Godox flashes, would you provide me more info and advices about mini flashes ? Thank you.

Ooma Telo, Anyone?

Thanks. Good to know. I have TV, computer, and phone through the cable company. If I drop one feature, I lose the discount, so any savings could evaporate.

Now the it is more popular the price of the equipment has come down. I believe I paid 100-150 at that time. But it has paid for itself many times over...

This sounds like almost free telephone service through your router. Anyone try something like this?

Second lens advice.

Take a look at the 28-300mm (Nikon is $900+ or Tamron $600).. You may find a used or refurbished one. You can always sell the 24-120mm. I have both and use both at different times depending on the situation. Check the reviews for both and you can base your decision on those.. Good luck..

Tamron makes only one E-mount zoom, the 18-200mm. I'll have to rethink this.

I believe I have this lens (like isaid..Been a while since I used my A6000)...It is a good lens but does focus a little slow in low lit conditions. There seems to be a firmware fix.. I just need to take a look again...I really like the A6000 but just not enough lenses out there for it...

Yeah, I think I made a mistake. I read so many reviews about so many lenses, that I might have ordered the wrong lens. Oh, well. Amazon has easy returns. If only Sony was like Nikon - all lenses fit all DSLRs.

___________________________________________

Yes that would be nice... I need to use my A6000 more...But it sure would be nice to have one of those 18-300...Enjoy...

Sorry - that's the 18-270mm. I considered the 18-300, but no E-mount.

OK.. Thanks...But do not see where it actually says E-Mount...Says Sony/Minolta Alpha DT.. Maybe I am just missing something.. Would be nice to have a 18-300 for the E Mount...Looking forward to some pics..

Godox or Yongnuo flash triggers

Thanks for your reply. I use Nikon..

_________________________________________________

I believe that the YN622N controller and the YN622N Trigger will work. I have an SB 910 as well but when I do OCF I only use my YN stuff. Only because I like to have all the same.
Do not like to mix while on a shoot. When I look at the flases they look the same and not have to worry why it looks any different that the other. Check http://yongnuousa.net/ lots of stuff and information there..
He also has another site where he has the Godox stuff flashgear.net He is very helpful and can help you with what you need..

Godox or Yongnuo flash triggers

If you were making a choice between these two flash triggers based on your experience which would you choose?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would think it depends on what flashes you want to trigger. You need to make sure that what you get works with what you have..
Personnally, I use the Yongnuo. But I also use Yongnuo flashes.
