F32X is great wif the SONY 'F' series but it's really power hungry.
(will b xhng'g batts like reloading ya Carbine)

BEST if ya can git the Metz 54 MZ4 wif adapter SCA 3083.

i shot less than 100 shots with the F32X flash on the F828.. cos seldom shoot anyway... flash is a want than a need to me with F828.

but i also notice it sucks battery like nobody's business esp with alkaline batteries

Bro, at least I shot quite a lot wif it as I'm still quite a sucker for it's design.

I brot it for a wedding shot couple of months back, I've never changed so many batts before in a single day. Sucker aint I. I still luv it.

Does it perform better with other batts? Like?

I too tried it out at a wedding once with the F828. Ran out of battery before I can even start. It is the most power hungry flash unit I've ever encountered.

i think the power got sucked to the 4th dimension... cos the flash is not powerful, yet so power hungry... i wonder would i die from electricution if i touch the hot shoe with flash powered on...
