Hi,

I'm after a flash that I can move and bounce and diffuse etc, it's for the Sony alpha 100, what could anyone suggest??

Also I have tried to put this in the wanted section aswel but for some reason its not letting me do it through the TP iPhone app.

Jessops afd 360 is the cheap option, but should do the job.

Similar price (maybe a bit more) would be a s/h Minolta 3600 HS (d). Does not have swivel, only bounce, but does have the ability to operate in wireless mode.

If you have a bit more budget then a s/h Sony HVL-FM42 is the next step up - more powerful, and can operate in wireless mode using the A100 pop up flash as a trigger.

You could have a look at the Nissin range of flashes. They are compatible with Sony cameras and are fantastic flashguns. I've got a Di866 and the wife has a Di622, both for Canon, and they work perfectly. You should be able to get a Di622 (Canon 430EX II equivalent) for under a £100 new. Well worth it and they're very economical with the battery power too, I got over 800 flashes on 1 charge whereas my Canon 580EX II normally does between 5-600.
