It works great! It has three different light settings and it is easy to set up. It just needs batteries.

Depends on your usage but good flash for the price. This is the cheaper of the 3 sony flashes but it doesn't mean its lacking. only issue is depending if your rough with accessories. the battery hatch seems to be fragile and I'm not a big fan of the folding to power off, but for the price its manageable

This HVLF-20M Sony flash works perfect on my Sony A6000. It is very light and small, which is exactly what I wanted. It is a little stronger than the built in flash but does a very good job. If you want something small and light get this flash.

I initially purchased an off brand flash for my Sony A6000. The camera kept giving me error messages that the flash was incompatible with my camera. Bought this Sony flash from the Best Buy Open Box listing and it works flawlessly (and c ame at a nice discount from the regular retail price).

Bought this as an open-boxed item so i paid even less. It's simple to use and serves its purpose. Just like the other reviews, battery usage is a problem.

This compact and affordable flash is nice accessory if you need more flash than a pop-up but don't expect pro-grade performance. The diffuser has a clever design allowing it to flip up for tele shots but doesn't seem very effective for close to moderate distances. It has a fast recycle time and the "flip-up-to-turn-on" feature is handy. It's small enough to keep on hand "just in case" and since it uses AA batteries you don't have worry about charging it ahead of time.

I haven't had the chance to test out this flash but I got it for the size. The size of this flash is light weight and very easy to use. It has a up & down motion to power on and off the flash.

This flash is an essential for use with my Sony A6000. The built in flash can’t give nearly as good results, and there are lots of situations where a good flash is essential.
