i think the hot shoe converter can be found in cs those ppl who sell accessories. dunno JL-Photo Jason here got sell or not. or ebay. dunno where cheaper. u go search search need to go wisma service centre to order spare minolta parts if u wan minolta hot shoe cover. but got waiting period for the order to arrive. i think if u all wan can start a MO lo... then can get all together. if not one by one just order 1 or 2 a bit silly. but if u wanna use the converter, then dun need the cover. either one but anyway maybe u wan a cover too. haa Edited by yokechye, Feb 1 2009, 12:05 AM.

Can check these 2.. One needs adapter, another never mention how it is fixed to Sony/minolta, so need to verify with seller. http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150323941028 http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370151808378 |

oo.. looks like they came out with new one liao the 2nd one i think there is a very small black adapter to fit the standard hotshoe to the alpha hotshoe wah but frankly hor, the 3 way level is an overkill imo. u just need one of these to do the work

Thanks. It save me some work. If we buy things from ebay. Do we need to pay GST? Edited by hktan, Feb 1 2009, 11:15 AM.

any random one would do, you'd need a FS1100 (third party one - very cheap) to convert the standard hot shoe to Alpha hotshoe. |
