It’s cleanup time again, and this time round I am selling one of my Minolta 5600HS (D) Wireless Flashes.

This is a true top spec unit and is the original version of the Sony HVL-F56AM which was rebranded Sony after the takeover of KM. If you’d rather a HVL-F56AM check my other auctions. This is compatible with Sony’s Alpha series of cameras and is in great condition and comes with box and instruction manual,the only quibble is that sometimes the power button gets a bit sticky requiring and an extra push.

This is a great unit and I’m only selling because I have another one so it sits as a spare. It’s a great unit, and it must go to a good home!
