Vintage Contax TLA 200 electronic flash in the less common black finish, originally introduced in 1996 alongside the Contax G2 rangefinder camera. Manufactured in Japan by Kyocera, the TLA 200 is a compact, dedicated TTL flash designed for the Contax G-series 35mm film camera system, including the G1 and G2.
Featuring through-the-lens (TTL) automatic flash exposure, the TLA 200 communicates with compatible Contax cameras to regulate flash output. Its manually adjustable zoom reflector provides coverage for 28mm, 35mm, 45mm, and 90mm lenses.
With its compact design and guide number of 20 (meters at ISO 100, 35mm setting), the TLA 200 is a sought-after accessory for Contax G-series photographers and collectors.
