Please note this is the 7S****iii 

I have tried the Godox TT685II-S. This flash would not fire, it is hot shoe mount. I checked the guide in the box and the 7s was not listed. I am seeking a hot shoe mount flash that has a Manuel mode that someone is actively shooting with. In my research I’m just not finding anything… thank you so much for your support!

Thank you for your response @Cameratose. Again I’m looking for someone who is currently shooting with an a7siii and wanting to know what flash they are using. I went to a photo supply today and they were unsure as well as to why it wouldn’t fire with godox

Which is exactly why you should be contacting Godox customer service rather than hoping to find a needle in a haystack. They're the experts, it's their flash. They can tell you if it will or won't work. Good luck.

@Cameratose thank you for your response. If you see my original post you will see that the insert in the godbox did not have my camera listed. I am seeking someone who is actively shooting with the A7siii, and the flash that they have found has worked for them. Thanks!

Right, so the smart thing to do is hope that someone comes along, rather than contact the people who actually manufacture the flash and get a factual answer. Proof that you can lead a horse to water...

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      That's supposed to be a pretty good APS-C lens. Can you try it on a different camera just for the heck of it? Friend? Camera shop? The lens is noted for sharpness, so if you're having as much trouble as you say, you may want to look into a replacement or repair.

      Blurry images on Sony 70-350

      By broz_tito · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to the community because I’m facing a persistent image quality issue with my Sony 70–350mm f/4.5–6.3 G OSS lens, and I’d like to know if this is normal behavior or if my copy is defective. Problem description: I’ve extensively compared the 70–350mm G OSS with my Sony 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, using a Sony A6700, under controlled conditions: • Identical lighting and background • Same subject and position (LEGO figure, consistent framing) • Tripod or steady support • Manual focus or AF with center point • Same shutter speed (e.g., 1/200s), similar ISO (ISO 4000–6400), RAW + JPEG • OIS turned on (and also tested with OIS off) My observations: • At 135mm, the 70–350mm G OSS delivers softer, flatter images than the 18–135mm, even when stopped down. • At 350mm, the sharpness drops significantly – the center is soft, and textures (like LEGO tiles or fabric) appear blurred or smudged. • Contrast and micro-detail are noticeably inferior across all focal lengths. • The 18–135mm at 135mm (even cropped) retains better edge sharpness and detail definition. • Both JPEG and RAW files confirm the issue – this is not just JPEG processing or noise reduction. Question to the community: • Have others experienced similar softness with the 70–350mm? • Is it possible I have a decentered or optically misaligned copy? • Is there a known issue with OSS introducing softness at long focal lengths? I wanted to love this lens due to the range and portability, but currently it’s unusable for anything where image quality matters. I’m considering returning or sending it for service. Thanks in advance for any feedback or comparison results you can share.

      I'm pretty confident OP made up his mind in the past 14 months.
