does Sony make an adapter for the a99 to use older flashes

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.

Yes, it comes with adapter and it works well with old flashes (I have few of them).

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.

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.

yes this designed for the a7. A7 use a regular hot shoe, Sony Alpha SLT/ DSLR use some odd one. This really is the only flash that you don't need an adapter and is TTL, but it is smaller/ weaker then most flash. Yes I tried at Tall's camera on my A7 and it worked with TTL. Just didn't buy it yet.

It works perfectly on my A77 so I assume it'll work on other Alphas, but I don't have any experience with it in on an A57 or A99.

For Sony, you won't want to buy anything but a Sony adapter. I've tried several, and none of them work. But if you have the old sony hotshoe, the flash that I received did not need an adapter.

I don't know the answer to your specific question. For my A900, it worked, but not that well. The images often came out underexposed. Perhaps the TTL feature doesn't work properly. I returned my set. By the way, I've never had any problems working with the regular infrared control built into the flash units.Also, does the A77 have the Sony proprietary flash hot shoe? My new A99, has switched to the standard ISO hot shoe connectorJust out of curiosity, what do you use such a fast shutter speed for? 1/8000 is way beyond anything I shoot. Do you do lots of stop action work? Sports? When I am using remote flash, I keep it below the shutter sync speed. Does high speed sync (HSS) work with remote flash?

everything on the a 65 is compatible except the flashyou need a special flash adapter if you have a Sony flash or I had to purchase a new flash that one go on the new A77 Mark II

I don't think so because most Sonys use the non-standard hot shoe. Check their site to see if Sigma says they offer the Sony-foot version of the flash.

Dear Carlos H:If I'm not mistaken the Hot Shoe Adapter I have is the Seagull SC-5 and it works perfectly on my Sony Alpha 100. I believe, if Sony hasn't changed its hot shoe contact, the Adapter gonna be compactible with the more modern models. The non dedicated flash units I have are the superb Vivitar 285 HV and so far the Adapter has been sailing in placid waters. I only hope the Vivitar units are not too strong for it. May it function as perfectly with all newer Sony models!

You do not need a hot shoe adapter for the trigger. It can fit on Sony A37 directly. For the flash, you need an adapter if it can not directly fit on your camera. Mochalight

It works on the a99 and it works very, very well. I know of a pro who recommends this.

As I recently bought the A58 I also need an adapter for the new standard hot shoe, but I will have it until the next week, I also hope it will work really well as did with my old A55. I'll update my answer then if you're interested. Happy Christmas!

In theory you can use an adapter sold by Sony so you could use the HVL-F58AM on the newer hot shoe found on the latest Sony cameras, but I never tried it.

Yes. I use these with my a850 and they work well. I've had trouble with the a99, but the 100 / 900 should be good!

I do not know about an adapter. I have the NEX-3. Sorry I cannot be of assistance. Might want to contact Sony.

Not required, for standard strobes/flash as it is equipped with the multi-interface shoe. However, if you are to use the older Sony strobes you will require a adp-maa compatible adapter.

The battery grips for Sony are unique per camera model. So no, it would not work on the A99
