Pros

It's definitely on of the best bang for you buck sony flash units. It's leaps and bounds better than any built in flash and it's still quite compact.

It has a telephoto and bounce setting. The bounce fills just enough to add nicely to the photographs when needed.

I have 5 sony bodys 2 of which are a6600's. Oss lens created when attached to my nex-6 camera.

I am delighted by many of the features this has that i had not thought of. It is awesome!

Dennis mina uses the hvl-f20m on his dsc-r1 camera. It cycles so much faster than the larger hvb-f32x. It is so much lighter and smaller than the f32x arrangement and it performs even better than i expected.

One of the better prices for any brand name flash.

I came very close to buying one of the many third-party inexpensive flash units available for my sony a6000, but then i noticed... Read More
