It's big and heavy compared to my old 36AM . It has got a lot of power. Swivel head is awesome.

I'd have liked a constant battery indicator and a dedicated HSS on/off button. I actually the back panel info layout can be improved, too much of empty of space there. Could have displayed F number, focal length, Sensor type, ISO, etc. Am I asking too much for $500?

I want another flash and thats the one at the top of my list but I'm going to wait I think untill I have a clearer objective, with winter closing in I see myself using my 36 more and more. which camera are you shooting with?

No, you're not asking too much for $500. Sony is asking too much for their F58!

perfect. I look forward to seeing your shots and hearing your experience with it.

thanks

You can download a pdf of the user manual from the sonystyle website. That's what I did for my hvl-56am when I lost the manual. I just checked, and they have the manual for the hvl-58am as well.

No CD comes with the flash, but you can download from http://www.docs.sony.com/release/HVLF58AM.pdf
