SONY mount Wide angle, speedlights, modifiers and triggers, etc

[JonHartPhoto]

Looking to buy Sony mount accessories including flash triggers, speed lights or hot shoe mount flashes, need a wide angle lens, light modifiers needed like umbrellas and soft boxes....thanks!

On the bright side, the modifiers are all standard. If you want to use flash triggers I suggest adapters from FlashZebra.com. Mine are from them with the exception of some Minolta ones. For flash triggers I use the Cactus V4s, but the V5s are out, and now Phottix makes Sony specific triggers (Phottix Strato Receiver only for Sony - Studio accessories) so you wouldn't even need the adapters. I just got one set and am pretty impressed with them.

I have the Alien Bee giant softbox 30x60 with the grid I'm selling. I think I had it listed for $140 plus shipping/paypal fees. Great box (newer strong material style) and takes only seconds to setup.

Not sure what lights you'll be using. I also have a couple of spare umbrellas, shoot through white with black covers for to use as bounce. I think those are 40" or 43", I'd have to look tonight since it's been a while since I used those. I'd sell both for $30 plus shipping/paypal fees.

There is the 100 year old standard ISO hotshoe, then there is the iISO Minolta/Sony one. Unless teh adapter specifically says fits Sony/Minolta, you will need an adapter. The adapters are not all that expensive though, like $12-15, so don't let that freak you out.
