power packs for Minolta Flashesgreenspun.com : LUSENET : MINOLTA USERS PAGE : One Thread |
I am looking for a AC power source for the Minolta 1200 Af macro flash. The Minolta number for such a power pack is "AC 1000". Are they still available? Is there a aftermarket product available?I am also looking for a portaable high capacity battey pack for the 5600HS flash - Minolta no longer makes one.

I have the 5400 HS and use the Quantum Turbo battery back. It works like a charm, the flash is ready instantly after each shot. It does, of course, require a fairly heavy coiled cable between the pack and the flash. And I still need to keep batteries in the 5400HS, although they are not used to charge the capacitor.I am interested in obtaining another flash, and have tried to find some information about the 5600HS. There is nothing on the Minolta web site about it. I gather it is for the Maxxum 7. I have the Maxxum 9. Will the 5600HS work with the Maxxum 9? Would there be any advantage to buying the 5600HS as my second flash instead of another 5400HS? I understand the 5600HS has a great light output.
