Customer Review: Really worth the investment
Summary: 5 Stars
This flash is not particularly cheap, but its dedication to the minolta cameras makes flash and camera work very efficiently and smoothly. Automatic control of the flash zoom, the usual control of flash intensity (TTL), but also highly reliable metering accuracy in dark conditions through flash metering(ADI), remote flash photography with wireless high-speed synchro autofocus.
Flash head rotates horizontally and vertically (also down for macro). It covers from 24mm to 85mm focal lengths and extends to 17mm focal length with the included wide-angle adapter. This flash is powerful (guide number of 184' (56 meters) at 85mm and ISO 100) which is really useful for outdoors pictures (buildings, etc). Maximum distance of efficiency of the flash for a 85mm focal length will indeed be much less at wide angle and will also be less with moderately fast zooms!
The flash also has cool features like strobe functions, useful not only to control light modeling of the subject in studio conditions, but also to locate your subject in total darkness, like in caves!
Bottom line: if you really want to see the difference with your weak built-in flash and can afford the price difference, this is the flash for you!

Flash coverage is available from 24mm to 85mm focal lengths, and further extends to the 17mm focal length with a built-in wide-angle adapter. The 5600HS assures highly reliable metering accuracy with the ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering in combination with Konica Minolta's new lenses with distance encoder and the Dynax 7. It also supports versatile remote flash photography with wireless/remote high-speed sync when the 5600HS is used as an off-camera flash of the Dynax 7. The AF illuminator covers the Dynax 7's 9-point sensors in the wide focus area. Furthermore, the flash head tilts 10 degrees downward for close-up photography.Other high-performance features include high-speed sync, manual flash control, multiple flash, wireless/remote off-camera flash, ratio flash, and modeling flash. The five custom functions let the photographers customize operation to their specific needs.

The 5600HS provides you with TTL flash metering as well as automatic shutter sync with flash-ready and exposure confirmation indications in the camera's viewfinder.
This bounce flash rotates its head up to 90 degrees vertically, 90 degrees clockwise, or 180 degrees counterclockwise. To give you even more creative control, it tilts its head by 10 degrees downwards for high-quality images when you shoot close-up photography. The remote sensor function of the 5600HA works when it's used with the Minolta Maxxum 7 as an off-camera flash.
