Konica Minolta Maxxum Flash

Konica Minolta Maxxum Flash 5600HS D Series
 

The high-performance features of the Minolta Maxxum Flash 5600HS D series include: manual flash control, multiple flash, ratio flash, modeling flash, and low-battery indicator. It has a fully automatic flash sync with speeds all the way up to 1/12,000 seconds and gives you flash coverage ranging from 24-85mm focal lengths. The 5600HS provides you with TTL flash metering as well as automatic shutter sync with flash-ready and exposure confirmation indications in the camera's viewfinder.

This bounce flash rotates its head up to 90 degrees vertically, 90 degrees clockwise, or 180 degrees counterclockwise. To give you even more creative control, it tilts its head by 10 degrees downwards for high-quality images when you shoot close-up photography. The remote sensor function of the 5600HA works when it's used with the Minolta Maxxum 7 as an off-camera flash.

Konica Minolta Maxxum 3600HS TTL Shoe Mount Flash

Minolta's new 3600HS flash is especially designed to ensure highly reliable metering accuracy when used in conjunction with the ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering featured in Minolta's new lenses with distance encoders and the newly-introduced Maxxum 7 SLR camera. This flash unit provides flash coverage ranging from 24mm to 85mm focal lengths, and further extends to the 17mm focal length with a built-in (or included-3600) wide-angle adapter. This flash unit also supports versatile remote flash photography with Wireless/Remote High-speed Sync when the units are used as an off-camera flash of the new Maxxum 7. The 3600HS allows fully automatic flash sync with speeds all the way up to 1/12000 seconds. With High-speed Sync, photographers can take full advantage of a large-aperture lens with a shallow depth of field in daylight flash photography. Additional attractive features of the 3600HS(D) include an AF illuminator which links to the Minolta Maxxum 7's central three-point local focus areas, low-battery indicator, bounce flash with an indicator lamp, and Custom Functions for additional creative options. The 3600HS(D) provides a maximum guide number of 36 (in meters, ISO 100) with sufficient power to photograph subjects of 85 feet (26m) away (using the AF 85mm f/1.4 G(D) with 85mm flash coverage). The automatic power zoom covers from 24mm to 85mm focal lengths. In addition, the included Wide Angle Adapter provides extended coverage for the 17mm focal length.
Minolta 2500HS (D) Maxxum Flash with Case

 

The compact Minolta Program/Maxxum Flash 2500 (D) is a new member to Minoltas powerful line of Maxxum flash units. This affordable flash unit is characterized by powerful, automatic performance and is compatible with all Minolta Maxxum Single Lens-Reflex (SLR) film cameras, the Minolta DiMAGE series of digital cameras including the new Minolta DiMAGE A1 and DiMAGE Z1 digital cameras.

When used in combination with Minolta’s D series lenses and Advanced Distance Integration (ADI) compatible camera bodies such as the Maxxum 4, Maxxum 5 and Maxxum 7, the new Minolta Program/Maxxum Flash 2500 (D) uses the sophisticated ADI metering system for controlling flash exposures. With conventional flash metering, dark or highly reflective subjects can deceive the metering system and cause over or underexposure. To reduce influence from subject or background reflectance, ADI metering uses distance information from Minolta D series lenses with TTL (through the lens) metering to control the flash output.

The Program/Maxxum Flash 2500 (D) has a bounce flash head that can be tilted between 0 and 90 degrees. This can be used to create soft, indirect lighting in interiors by reflecting the flash off the ceiling.

Metz 54 MZ-4C TTL Shoe Mount Flash for Konica - Minolta Digital SLR Cameras.
The new Metz 54MZ-4 is a special version of the company's 54MZ-3 series flash that's been specifically designed for Minolta Digital SLRs.
