Hi, jus get my copy of Sony F58AM today. brought home immediately mount and put into action. ![]() After a few shots, I realised the flash adaptor connected to the horse shoe part is quite flimsy, a bit shaky. : Is it normal for all flashes? Wil the mounting break if I turn too often? Does the standard package comes with the stand? According to the user guide, it mention "supplied mini stand" but i couldnt find any in the package. Heard u guys mention the "loop" brand batteries. Is it more lasting?

Hi Rleon , congratulations on your new Flash ! My F56 is always 'Not' very steady on all my Alphas , for my case , it does shake a bit , but just a bit . So i suspect its my Flash , not the hotshoe . Even after i had sent it into the SSC & had changed a new one , also the same . But should be alright . As for the 'Stand' , i am not very sure ... The 'Eneloop' by Sanyo is really a long lasting battery ! In a way after you fully charged , can leave it there without using for a long time & power are still full . But if you talk about the 'Lasting' for the Flash that keeps firing , i think its all about the same . |

Congrats on your new flash and welcome to Club 58. The mini stand should be inside the pouch. Yes, it will be a bit shaky when mounted. |

Hi Ming, gd to see u online... is Miss Vista still giving u problem?? Thanks for the answer to my Loop. I assume the batts are sold with charger. Hi Shadow, my pleasure to be in Club 58.. good thing u told me it's inside the pouch or i will end up with an additional mini stand 2moro. I'm getting to love the flash... But my A300 seems a bit small with the flash and VG.. a bigger cam would be ideal Thank you guys...

Bigger Cam ... ? mmm ... Do you mean A900 ? For that RC Battery Eneloop , you can choose to buy just the batteries if you already have the charger thats compatible to charge this Eneloop , just make a check around . My Powerone charger can charge my Sanyo Batteries also . |

Hahaha.. that's a lot of really "need".. Appreciate your advice... Only one more item which is the 50mm.. Since I mention, any idea the price difference between Sony and Sigma? Sigma review quite impressive lay.. Will stop the buying spree for a while..
