 which flash for A7Riii ? | |
I'm new to Sony
I'm all set with glass and bodies. Except for LIGHT! I have no idea where to begin. I just became aware that there are TWO sony hot shoe types, after getting all the wrong stuff. So I have to return it.. Sorry for being a n00b.
So there is the new sony shoe, which is on the A7riii, which is dubbed ISO shoe?
Then the old shoe, which is styled after the old Minolta gear, so that is dubbed Sony/Minolta shoe, aka MI shoe. right?
Please do not order anything based on my links here. Let me clean it up after we hear from the experts. I don't see a thread on this yet. I also don't know when they changed from the MI to the ISO. Do the a7r2 and r3 have the same shoe of different?
is this the right shoe?
is it a good choice?

then there's this, I assume these are the WRONG shoe:

^ this is the old shoe right? sony/minolta?
and this one?

the sony flash, for the a7riii is HVL-F45RM correct? I can get this for $300 new, USA right now. But I assume there are many options out there that are cheaper, better, while having better warranty.
I would prefer to have a flash that has a built in transmitter/receiver, like the Phottix Mitros+ units. So you can use the flash on body. and have another flash off body, without needing controllers. the flash units each have built-in controllers. What should I go with?
I want to start out with two units. Ultimately I may end up with five total and use three of them for reception. With two on body.
Thank you
