The Sony a7R V is a high-resolution masterpiece, but its 61-megapixel sensor is incredibly unforgiving when it comes to poor lighting. To truly unlock the detail this camera offers, you need a flash that balances power with intelligent communication. I’ve spent years testing speedlights on Sony’s Multi Interface Shoe, and while native options offer unparalleled…
