... It's the same (maybe different coatings) as the Minolta one, meaning, full-frame. It was a good lens on the 7D, I'm not sure on the a700. -- Magnus Wedberg...

I have a Minolta 7D and am planning on getting a Minolta 5400 HS flash. Does anyone know if this flash will work with the 7D ? [Non-text portions of this...
It will "work," but the flash will always be in full-power and not TTL. As a result, you will have to set manual aperture and shutter speed on your camera to...
This question comes up often, and the answer is not a simple yes or no. If you just stick the flash onto the 7D, the only thing it will do is fire at full...
As mentioned already, it is not a simple yes or no. Many will say no because there is no flash metering. If you have your camera set to any of the autoexposure...

Hi Markus, Thanks for clearing that up; considering the lenses look quite different (I prefer the look of the Minolta, but maybe that 's just nostalgia), I was...
