Sony NEX FA-EX1S Flash Extender with NEX-5H

albnok was at Sony Power of Digital Imaging launch in Malaysia and got a glimpse at an interesting widget. Here is the FA-EX1S flash extender which comes with the NEX-5H kit, NEX-5 + 18-200mm OSS lens.

This widget, FA-EX1S, works with the standard flash and moves it up so that the 18-200mm does not cast a shadow in flash photos.

  1. I could use that for the 18-55mm lens. I don't use the flash because of the shadow from the lens.

  2. Here is the Sony part number A1787305A. Contact Sony customer service and see if it is in stock. It is around $63.

  3. That's terrible. No hot shoe and Sony doesn't provide an extender for free That's bad designe, and what will hurt Sony as they do not pay attention to detail. The fact is that macro doesn't work with the flash due to the position of the flash and the length if the lens.

  5. The fact that you cannot just go to the main Sony site and find this accessory is simply appalling. That the accessory was not included with the lens is equally if not more appalling.

    Who is in charge of customer satisfaction?

  7. @DS, Jimbo is correct. You perhaps searched on model number or something else, but not on *part* number.
