Minolta - Sony
It looks like Sony is bringing over more than just the lens.
Their HVL-F56AM and HVL-F36AM flash units look like rebranded 5600HS and 3600HS Minolta units. The only question is will the mounts be compatible? I wonder the the A100 will be able to mount the current Minolta units or be able to wirelessly control them, and vise versa? |

Yes, that's the plan and yes, those are re-branded Minolta flashes. Not sure if "Sony" products will work retro-actively with Minolta products, however, but initially it is a good guess that they will. Sony are building this niche on the existing customer base. If they start incompatibility games, they risk a lot of customers. The fact that the A100 uses CF is a very good sign. (See my other post, today, on the A100 as well).
