[font color=\'#000000\']A few weeks ago I posted a question asking if I could use a standard flash (from my 35mm slr) on a Minolta A2.
I got a responce saying yes I could. I was told to use a sync cord into the "pc cord socket".
I am just going to order the camera and want to know if I have to order any type of special adapter. Will the standard sync cord plug into the camer directly? Minolta sells something called a "pc flash adapter". Do I need this?
Thanks .... Mike [/font]
[font color=\'#000000\']Mike,
The A2 has a standard PC flash outlet, so a "normal" flash cable plugs into it.
Make sure you are aware that a standard flash will not mount in the weird Minolta flash shoe. You will need an off-camera (Stroboframe, etc.) flash bracket.
Good luck!
