TTL Flash for a7iii


Recommended Posts

I am considering Sony a7iii for family and wedding work. What flash systems are available that are durable, recycle fast and above all, consistent accurate TTL exposure.

Anyone using stock Sony flash or third party systems like Flashpoint?

Thanks,

 

FW

Hi! I'm in the same situation but for personal use, did some research and some good flashes are indeed from the Godox/Flashpoint brand. I just ordered the TTL speedlight version today (Flashpoint Zoom Li-Ion R2). It has very good reviews (Youtube, DPreviews, Fred Miranda). I've been hunting a good deal from a couple of weeks ago and today this version is on 125 USD on Adorama. 

Hope this helps with your search!

My main concern is accurate flash exposures and recycle times. I've used Flashpoint for Nikon and it was ok, but not always spot on with exposures. The large battery was a bonus over 4 AA's.

 How are the Sony brand of pro flashes?

    • I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7, model I or II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).
    • I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you. 
    • Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
