This is a tech data sheet of all Minolta/­Konica Minolta/­Sony Alpha flashes. All flashes are listed, including older versions.

Flashes are color-coded as follows:

Announced flash
Current flash
Discontinued flash

Brands are highlighted as follows:

Minolta, Konica Minolta
Sony

Whenever there's a “?” or empty space in the table, I do not know the data. If you have that specific flash, or when you have a model not listed yet, and you can provide the data, please contact me and I'll update the table as soon as possible.

Data for announced products should be considered preliminary. Exact data often isn't known until after the actual release. You should not rely on data for announced products to be correct.

Also read my Minolta/Sony Flash Compendium for further information about the Minolta AF/Sony Alpha flash system.
