The best value currently is Godox. The basic choice is between the TT350S and TT685S (or their lithium-batteried equivalents). The differences being size, power and recycling time. If you want to use off-camera flash you can then add almost any other Godox TTL flash and the system just works.Anyone use a flash gun on the various Sony RX? Any recommendations?

If you want to stick with Sony then my favourite is the HVL-F43M. Note it must be the 'M' version, not the 'AM' as that has the earlier Autolok shoe and will need an adapter to work.
There's also the Nissin i40 & i60. The i40 is worth consideration but the i60 is too expensive compared with the TT685.
"Excellent" shot, with a really nice pose, good colour and detail.

Are you sure this is a crow, Mike? The curve of its beak, the tuft at the base and the shaggier throat feathers suggest it's a raven. Can you remember if it said 'caw, caw, caw' or 'kronk, kronk'?

Hmm - no I'm not at all sure! I can't recall the noise it was making but I suspect you are right and it's actually a raven. ThanksAre you sure this is a crow, Mike?

Links not working for me...After another tandem shoot yesterday with the Canon m50 and 100-400, and the RX10 - dare I say it, the RX10 seems initially sharper, and better resolution than the M50...! Pictures to follow...

Could you get a sharper shot of a robin with a 600mm?! That was wide open, even zoomed in to 200 percent it is incredibly detailed!
Hmmm. Not sure what I did wrong there!
Let’s try again!

Cheers! Always impressed with the RX10iii; Just wish I had the courage to get rid of all my interchangeable kit; I'd be a much richer man!Three very nice images, liking all of these very much.

In theory, yes, but I don't think that adapter is correctly described as it looks more like it 'converts' a non-Sony flash to the old foot. This is a genuine one and this is a copy. Somewhere in the shambles that is my work room there's a bag of Sony flash bits. If I can find something suitable I'll put it in the Sales section.Just a thoight/... if I got the cheaper older flash (LCE have one in for £50!) I could then use this to convert it to the normal Sony fit right?

Also, the flash in LCE is an F42AM, not an F43AM. It's a good flash but the brilliant thing about the F43 is the way the head swivels to switch to portrait mode. Only the F43AM/M, F58AM & F60M do this.
Good work Sticky!
Cheers. These are amazing machines aren't they!
Thanks George, hope you are well"Cracking" shot, spot on composition, with a good pose, colour & detail.
George.
Thanks George, hope you are well
You'll be back in action soon George I hopeThank you fellow snapper, I sure do appreciate your reply.
"Many thanks for that, I'm getting there but very slowly. Sure wish I could get out & about with my camera kit"
George.
Depends if the F43 is F43M or F43AM. If it's an F43M then that's a very good price and you wouldn't need that adapter. I'm not so sure it's a good price for an F43AM.So... I could get the Sony F42 for about £50; Or the F43 for about £90. Is it worth it? Advice from those in the know would be appreciated!

But, if you're looking at spending up to £100, you should also consider the Godox TT685S at £96 from Amazon which opens the door to a comprehensive flash system.
I have mine in a Lowepro Toploader Zoom 45 AW II which seems to work well.Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality camera case/bag that fits this perfectly well with space for batteries and SD cards?
