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

Can check these 2..

One needs adapter, another never mention how it is fixed to Sony/minolta, so need to verify with seller.

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

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