This is a high quality Sigma Electronic Flash 287MA, with TTL fully automatic dedicated exposure control on most Minolta Dynax AF 35mm film SLR cameras with the exclusive type of Minolta flash shoe, plus the Vectis S-1 APS model. It’s NOT suitable for the very early 5000, 7000 and 9000 cameras with standard hot shoe, the late Dynax 3L, 30, 40 or 60, or any digital cameras. The flash is in very good condition and fully working order, supplied with original case, instructions (copy for a similar model) and Alkaline batteries. Please read the full description for more important information.Full TTL (Through The Lens), OTF (Off The Film) flash metering is available, which is the most accurate flash system available, with readings taken directly from the film during the exposure. It works with any aperture, and automatically allows for filters and close up accessories. In Program TTL mode the camera sets both shutter speed and aperture automatically. Flash range in Program TTL mode is 0.7 to 10m (2.3 to 33 feet) with ISO 100 film, and 1.5 to 20m (5 to 66 feet) with ISO 400 at f/2.8. As usual, actual range will depend on the conditions. In aperture priority and manual modes, the range depends on the film speed and lens aperture. The flash sets the shutter speed automatically and displays a flash ready indication in the viewfinder. An Auto OK indicator on the rear of the flash confirms correct exposure in TTL mode. Thyristor circuitry for fast recycling and more flashes per set of batteries.
The guide number is a useful 28m (90ft) with ISO 100 film. Comprehensive scales on the rear of the flash include apertures from f/2 to f/22, distances from 0.7 to 20m or 3 to 66 feet and film speeds from ISO 50 to 1000. The flash is very nicely made (in Japan),with positive controls and clear scales. A lock with release button allows the flash to be fixed tightly to the camera’s shoe. It measures approximately 110x65x70mm (4.3×2.6×2.8″) and weighs only 170g (5.9oz) without batteries. Power is supplied by 4x standard AA batteries and Alkaline disposable (supplied) or NiMH rechargeables can be used.
