sigma minolta fit flash
 

Is there an adapter available for these?
im wanting to use as a remote flash with a minicell slave unit, which is the standard hotshoe fit?

also, if adapter is available would i be able to use it on the D50?

Jamie,

Not a lot of help. I cannot find info on the flash mounting. This " Most wireless triggers for studio flash systems can't be used on Minolta cameras. They either have the wrong flash foot, ......... " makes me suspect that this is not a common ISO hot shoe mount.

If you can find a slave to fit, and the unit can be set to manual, then it can operate remotely with any camera.

cheers Don, its deffinatley not a common mount.
ill keep searching!

TIP : always look at what your buying on ebay especially if its going super cheap. " i shouldnt have rushed it and read into it more, silly silly me DOH"

Jamie,

A model number may help.

My thought is that if it can take the old style sync lead then we are in with a shout.

Don

Perhaps a couple of pics in order to help. one of the foot and one of any posible connections. I have found this link http://www.mhohner.de/minolta/flashcomp_acc.php#cables

So it appears it could be one of two foot styles.

Don

i have a feeling i need "Minolta OS-1100/Sony FA-CS1AM" or "FS-1200"

the flash model is an "EF-430ST"

hot shoe on flash looks like, see picture.

cheers for any help Don.

The one you really want is the FS-1200 as that provides a direct connection to the standard hotshoe and therefore any slave unit.

Not too sure about Minolta OS-1100/Sony FA-CS1AM as that may rely on cable connection only, and I bet that is not a common cable either.

I will see if I can find out info on the Sigma EF-430ST.

Check the body of the flash to see if there is any sign of a cable connection point. If so do a pic.

Don

No cable connection Don..
Can only find this item for sale in US..$27.00..would be worth it though, I'll ring around a few dealers to see if they can obtain one..
Hey, thanks for all your effort today..

Jamie,

I have tried Sigma USA site as that has a few of downloadable manuals but not this one I'm afraid. :(

Good luck in your search.

Don
