I found this flash unit in a pawn shop and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if I can use it with my 7D. They were asking $25 for it. It's a D-314i in case...

Don't have the Minolta version of 18-200mm, but I've got the Sony SAL18200 lens; I suppose it's about the same? Anyway, I've found this lens quite soft...
