Used Minolta Maxxum 5600HS Flash

For the price of a used flash you can’t beat getting a real Minolta unit with the warranty, and once you mount it off-camera the broken foot doesn’t matter at all. The recycle time seems snappy when I use it with my wireless trigger.

I was hesitant about the broken mount, but for off-camera use this flash works perfectly. It feels solid and the 100-day warranty gave me peace of mind.

It works fine as a wireless off-camera unit, and the 100-day warranty gives some peace of mind, but the broken mount is a real hassle if you ever want to attach it to the shoe. For the price, it's a fair trade-off if you're already set up with triggers.
