Compatible with FUJIFILM, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, and Sony cameras, the Lux Elf Camera Flash from Godox is a playfully small light source with basic features. Its retro design will spark joy atop your camera.

- Control features include an Optical Mode that offers S1 and S2 settings. In S1 the flash will fire in response to another manual or TTL flash, while in S2 the Retro Flash will respond similarly, but ignore the initial flash.

Sigma 500mm FE lens review by SonyAlphaBlog: “provides ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor”
500mm f/5.6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Calumet, WexUK.
SonyAlphaBlog tested the Sigma 500mm lens and concluded:
The Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN Sports (3200 euros) is an excellent lens and a very good news for animal shooters. It provides the ultimate image quality in a light and small form factor, much more usable than a 500mm F4 or 400mm f2.8 or the big telephoto zooms at a very reasonable price of 3200 euros. It can fit in a standard backpack
It AF, optical stabilisation , ergonomics, build quality is excellent. Bokeh , color rendition , distortion, Resistance to flare , level of CA are also excellent
The only weak point is the very long min focusing distance of 3.2m and the limitations imposed by Sony : max 15fps and no TC allowedHighly recommended
