is it suitable for a58

Any camera that does NOT have the standard hot shoe ie: [____] and has the "backwards" hot shoe ie: ]___[ requires this adapter. It will add about an inch to the height of the hot shoe accessory you connect. I believe the a77 was the first Sony Camera to have the standard hot shoe.

"Perfect" is a relative term. Yes, you will be able to use your 18-55mm on the a3000 and the adapter work very well. I use this adapter on my a3000 and a6000 often. However, there is not electrical connection between the lens and the camera body. It is fully manual. So no autofocus, no way to change aperture from the body, and metering is manual. You also won't have any EXIF data regarding focal length or aperture. Since the 18-55mm doesn't have an aperture control ring you'll have to use it wide open or at f22 all the time, which isn't ideal. You will also need to manually focus. So yes, it will physically adapt to the a3000. But using the 18-55 will be a significantly different (more complicated and limited in ability) experience than using it on an A-mount body. Just be aware of that. Consider a used 18-55mm e-mount kit lens. They're very cheap and fully compatible with your a3000.

Generally, you only need the transmitter (on top of the camera), then a receiver on your flash or strobes. I have the A550 & A580, and this unit works and fits fine. I am not sure if the A57 has the same Minolta/Sony mount. If not, you will need the adapter on top of your camera

It should. I use it on my newer a65 as well as my ancient a230. Works great on both.

If the a65 is the same translucent mirror sister camera to the a77 that I own, then most definitely yes it is compatible. I bought this flash for my a77 a couple years ago and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. This flash is worth every penny I paid for it.

Will this work for the new Sony hotshoe on the a sony a58 with a minolta/sony adapter that made to except the older hotshoe ?

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!

It should because the a57 has the alpha mount and so does this lens. Until the recent change to the E mount, the entire alpha series used this alpha mount type of lens.

The reason this is priced so low is because it fits on another lens, the SEL 16F28 lens, which is an E-mount Sony lens. There may be an adapter, but I think there is a better A-mount lens that will do this for the a58. I just did a search for "sony a-mount wide angle" and found a couple options. The Rokinon 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Sony Alpha Mount or the Rokinon 14mm T3.1 Aspherical Wide Angle Cine Lens should work.

I can use it on my A65 and my A77...so if they have the same configuration I would think so.

Filter diameters specified for filters/lenses should be universal. So, yes, it should work if it accepts 58 mm filters.

You should have no problem with compatibility. I currently have an a77. It works great with my camera. After I saw your question, I did a bit of research. One person stated that he has used this lens with both a55s & a65s. I hope this helps.

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about should fit the Sony DSLR-A580. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

This will work on an APSC camera like the A58. It will act like a 35-110 which is mild wide angle to short telephoto lens. Be warned the lens is much heavier than the other Sony lenses. If you plan to use it as a walk about lens the weight will be noticed. Get a good neoprene camera strap as the strap provided by Sony is not going to cut it with the A58/CZ setup.

my friends remember that your camera is 58mm you should check Et-60 for canon

I use them on my A99. Both the transmitter and receiver have the old style shoe so I use an adapter on the camera and I have to use another adapter if I want to put the HVL60 flash on the transmitter or if I use it on the receiver. I can use the HVL58 just fine without any adapters.

I went for the A99 from an A580, I am very pleased and it's great to return to full frame as I used this format with Minolta X.300/700 and a Dynax. If you own a few lenses check that they are suitable for full frame and are not APS specific. I have a fisheye that is APS so still use the 580 on occasion.Regards
