Thanks to a hot tip we can give you an exclusive hint on how to save ulterior $200 on the already discounted Sony A7r at FocusCamera (Click here). You get the A7r with free LR5 for $1,829 by entering the discount code “Olympus20” after adding the camera to your cart at FocusCamera (Click here).

Alexandre: “After having the small flash (F20M), I decided to buy the Sony HVL-F43M and I tested it by shooting models at the Bangkok Motor Sales last week. I’m really satisfied, this is a professional flash, very efficient and still not too heavy nor bulky.  You can see here the most beautiful models from this Motor Show, shot with my Sony A7R+FE35mmF2.8 and the Flash Sony HVL-F43M. http://thailandfacts.com/bangkok-grand-motor-sales-2014-pretty-thai-models/“
