Using this flash with an A99 - Do I need the Sony Multi Interface hotshoe adaptor?

I have the A77, so I can't speak about the A99 with certainty. The Sony version of the Metz 58 flash works perfectly with my A77 - no need for the adapter.

I just bought this Phottix Odin. If your camera is a6000, it requires a SONY Multi-interface Adapter Shoe. I got frustrated because I didn't know this and I missed some opportunities. Hoping Phottix will be more informative on their Sony products or atleast they had offer an adapter shoe bundle.

Regardless of where you purchase the adapter, you should call Sony tech support to verify which hot shoe adapter you need. I ended up ordering the wrong one and now have to return it. They don't make it easy to figure this out, in fact, I was on hold for quite some time before I was able to get a definite answer. Just explain what you are tryinig to do and ask them to tell you what you need. I went from the A350 to the A77II so the (fairly expensive) flash I currently own won't fit. Hopefully the adapter will do the trick. I have seen positive and negative feedback.

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.

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.

no.adapters available for using nikon flash with the fuji.. not that i know of. if you want to use the nikons as off-camera flash, you can use standard ir transmitter units instead on the hotshoe. for on camera flash, the fuji options are good.

There is only one connection on the hot shoe on this flash. That should be able to work with just about any camera with a hot shoe. As long as is not Sony camera I believe it should work. Hope that helps.

The connector on the receiver is standard hotshoe, which will physically fit on the HVL-F43AM -- but it won't operate the HVL-F43AM in TTL mode. I'm not sure if mulit-interface shoe flashes like the HVL-F43AM, when in manual mode, can be triggered by hotshoes without the Sony-specific pins. If the HVL-F43AM works in manual mode on Canon and Nikon and other non-Sony cameras, it should work in manual mode on this receiver.

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!

You will need the hot shoe adapter. That flash has the older minolta hot shoe.

According to the Sony website the A3000 has a multi interface (MI) hot shoe and this flash is the only one listed as compatible with that camera.

I use this flash on the A77, which uses the proprietary Sony flash shoe. I believe that the A99 has a standard flash shoe, which would not fit this flash.

The above answer is incorrect. To use that l=flash you will need the Sony ADP-MAA Hot Shoe Adaptor with Multi Interface Accessory for Autolock Camera Amazon link : Sony ADP-MAA Hot Shoe Adaptor with Multi Interface Accessory for Autolock Camera

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

I have a99 and it works very well on camera but you need a trigger to use it off camera

This has no use in your camera, it is for cameras with a Proprietary Sony Hot Shoe, in other words if your camera have a Sony(the older hotshoe version) hot shoe and you want to use a standard hotshoe flash then using this you can connect it to the camera, also if your camera does not have a pc(for a flash with a pc wire) connection, then this enables your camera to fire an external pc connection flash. you can use this on the Sony a 700 camera for an example. Your camera is a compact camera without a hotshoe, it has its own pop up flash.
