Hi. Can I use this adapter with an off brand flash which is dedicated to the Sony Alpha cameras??

This hot shoe adapter converts the NEX 3, and 5 multi pen HS to one standard center pen found on most cameras. If your flash is one dedicated to Sony you do not need an adapter. ALL SONY NEX cameras do not use the Sony hot shoe, the Sony NEX 6 uses a standard hot shoe.

i could not get it work on my camera... The flash works fine on a nikon camera, so i guess the problem is with the adapter. i have purchased another adapter from dx.com but it hasn't arrived yet.

I have had Zero luck with this adapter - it did not work with ANY flash I tried to use on it.

You can use it but only in Manual Mode! TTL Will not work, any kind of flash, canon, nikon or the new hot shoe sony's, but i recomend to you the Yongnuo

I m sorry I can not answer this question since I had to return this adapter. It did not work with my particular camera model. I thought it would.

No. This is the opposite of what you would need. Look for a Sony to Nikon flash converter.A word of caution: Using an older flash on a newer camera runs a higher risk of short short circuiting the camera.

I don't know . . . I only have the A7r. However, with the A7r it wasn't completely clear: they made a bunch of them with a proprietary connector, and they made a bunch with a standard connector. In the end, I went to a brick and mortar camera store and took the camera and flash with me. Turned out that I did need an adapter. I LOVE the flash, however. First rate, good size, etc.

I doubt it because it the Sony flash doesn't use a typical hot shoe attachment. This Sony proprietary shoe requires that the flash be attached to the camera with its built-in thumb screw. Perhaps Sony sells the attachment, but I have not seen nor been offered it.

This one does not require an adapter. It is designed for the multi interface for the newer Alpha NEX cameras. It is a decent flash and offers more options than the popup flash. If you are looking for a versatile flash I would recommend the HVL43 with an adapter. Overall I like it but due to the size and does not require and adapter for my NEX 6.

I don't have a Sony, but I have used this diffuser mount on 3 different types of cameras - each had an existing mount that could be used for an external flash (which, to my knowledge, is pretty generic). My knee jerk response would be 'Yes' based on the photos I've seen of your camera.

There is an adpater that comes with the a99 which works perfectly with the old Sony/Minolta flashes. I also felt that the build quality for this adapter was very good.

I believe it's compatible with any brand because since it is off camera flash. You can use it via sync cord or wireless trigger.

I think this adapter is to fit non-Sony flash units onto the older Sony alpha camera hot-shoes. Hence, the Pixel Flash Hot Shoe converter would not work to use your Sony F42AM flash to the Sony A7 camera.

The nex7 looks like it has the same hot shoe configuration as my Alpha A 37. I am using it on the A37. Look at the two cameras and if the flash shoe looks the same than it will work on the nex7

It will only work if they have a ISO Standard to Sony Hot Shoe adapter The LumoPro LP180 Flash will only work if you have an ISO standard to Sony Hot Shoe Adapter

The a99 comes with a hotshoe adaptor to accept the older Sony flash units. I've used the older 56 and 20FM models with the a99 and they work just fine with the included adaptor.

Yeah. I work with sony a77 with FA-HS1AM adapter (must be modified - too low voltage to start trigger!!!). Nikon - works good. Leica works good too. Flash complex by Aurora (Korea)

To my knowledge, the A5100 doesn't have a hotshoe slot for an external flash. If the camera doesn't have the standard Sony/Minolta hotshoe, then this adapter won't work.

Also you have to buy a separate adapter, I bought mine at Opteka T-Mount Adapter for Sony Alpha Digital SLRs DSLR-A350, A300, A200, A700, A900, A100, A380, A500, A550, A850, A450,A290, A390, A580, SLT-A33, A55, Minolta Maxxum 5D, 7D, 7, 9xi, 7xi and 5xi

I'm not sure, should any Sony Alpha. If the plug that goes into the Shutter release that will make the difference. Has work.

The answer is YES, providing your lens is the Sony/Minolta Alpha version. The adapter is specifically for mounting Sony/Minolta Alpha lenses on Sony E mount cameras such as the a6000 while retaining the Auto Focus feature of the lens. I've had the adapter when I had a Sony NEX 7 camara. I used it with various Sony Alpha lenses mounted on my NEX 7 and all the lenses performed well as expected.
