A Must for all the Sony/Minolta User
|
I got this flash for my Minolta 7D and Sony A100. It works perfectly on both of the cameras. One of its special features is to has the ADI metering function. But to make ADI system work, it requires camera, flash and lens all support this function. Unfortunately, although ADI is more advanced than TTL metering, I do not have any D-lens that support ADI function. However, its TTL metering is still very accurate than what I expected.
It wireless mode works great on any of my cameras. You do not need any special accessory to enable this mode. Just set the flash to "wireless", and camera body to "wireless", and then pop up your camera top flash as the igniter, then go wireless. I might say the camera can control the flash remotely within 20 feet.
The only thing I want to complaint about is its plastic hot shoe. Sure it has a plastic hot shot, can you ever imagine a camera company will make their top notch and professional flash with a plastic hot shoe? I cannot believe it. Nikon's SB800, Canon's EX580, they all have metal hot shoe. The flash itself weight nearly a pound, not to mention with 4 batteries on it. Think about take it vertically on a camera, how much pressure it brings to the conjunction of the hot shoe. I have seen actually somebody drop it on the ground together with the camera. You know result, the hot shoe breaks off. |
