Minolta Program 1800AF Flash – Compact Autofocus Flash Unit

Designed to complement the legendary Minolta Maxxum autofocus SLRs, the Minolta Program 1800AF Flash was built for portability, performance, and simplicity. Whether you’re an amateur shooting travel memories or a professional covering an event, this flash offers the lightweight versatility you need.

Equipped with an autofocus assist lamp, it enhances focusing in low-light conditions, helping your camera lock on even when your subject is dimly lit. Its automatic exposure control adapts to your environment and camera settings for consistently well-lit shots—while manual override options allow more experienced users to take creative control.

Its quick recharge time ensures you’re ready for the next shot in just seconds, making it ideal for portraits, parties, weddings, or street shooting on the go.
