I bought a Sony F43 flash almost a month ago. I love it.
I have been doing a lot of bouncing off the ceiling and I have run out of power a few times. Yesterday, I was at my father-in-law's for Thanksgiving and he has a higher ceiling. I ran out of power a little more often.
I am thinking of sending the F43 back and getting an F58 for the additional power. Are there ANY downsides to the F58 relative to the F43?
I need to do this in the next few days before my 30 days are up. Any responses are appreciated.
There are only advantages to having a more powerful flash. More power, faster recycle, more control. Although I think the 43 is weather sealed.
However.. Aside from the floppy floppy head I hated the 58. It overheated (I needed two and had to often change out batteries at high photo volume events) Its menus are inscrutiable and cryptic with no logical sense. It has a very high minimum power of 1/32
The new 60 addresses these things except perhaps the batteries and unfortunately you will need to use the adaptor but that is the flash of the future. for now
You mean the heavier and bulkier body aren't disadvantages?
