I've recently aquired an A390 to use my legacy Minolta AF lenses I was hoping to use the flash equipment from my 7000 and 9000 despite buying the adapters the pop up flash physicaly interferes with the hot shoe mounted kit is there a way around this?

Are you saying you want to leave the adapter in place and use the pop-up flash simultaneously? It doesn't seem feasible with that camera. ![]() |

I don't necessarily want to use the pop up flash will the hot shoe fire without the pop up ?

Yes it should fire without the flash up but for flash units from the 7000/9000 era, only manual power will be available (no TTL, no HSS or other auto features).
If you have 4000AF, there is a manual power level adjustment possible, for 2800AF, only 2 power levels, and the 1800AF has no level adjustment so it will only fire at full power. If you get the Minolta FS-1100 adapter in combination with the 4000AF flash, the rear panel of the flash should give you an indication of the theoretical working distance for your ISO and aperture settings in M mode. |

Hi, I've got the 4000AF and the 2800AF so it seems that if I get the FS-1100 adapter I should be in business thanks for your help
