High zoom hot shoe flash I have a 100-500mm zoom lens but my current Speedlite flash only covers to 130mm so when I zoom in on something my flash becomes useless. Where can I get a flash with enough zoom to at least come close to working with my lens?

The flash does not become useless. It provides just as much light to the same distances with a 500mm lens as it does with 100mm lens. Still, there are accessories, such as the "Better Beamer" that further focus the speedlight's flash to extend it to greater distances.

Better to change the aperture when you're at the higher focal lengths, or use manual. Zooms on a flash never seemed to do much. Just look for higher guide numbers if you need stronger lights.
