Minolta Auto 280PX External Flash

Picked this up for my X-700 and the dedicated TTL metering nailed the exposure on every frame of my first roll. The build quality feels solid and retro in just the right way.

Picked this up to round out my film kit, and the dedicated TTL metering makes a huge difference — exposures come out consistent instead of the guesswork I dealt with using a manual flash. It mounts solidly on the hot shoe and recycles fast enough between shots.

Bounced this onto my old film body and the exposures came out dead consistent across a whole roll, which is more than I can say for the cheap third-party flash I'd been fighting with. The dedicated metering just handles it, no fiddling with guide numbers.
