I bought an fs-1100 so that i can connect a standard flash unit or a radio syncing device to do off-camera flash work. The fs-1100 doesn't seem to be working. does anyone have experience with these things, or know another way to connect a sony camera to a non-sony flash? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.94077 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:09:06 -0800 binocularfight sony a100 dslr flash strobist hotshoe fs-1100 http://ask.metafilter.com/94077/How-do-I-connect-my-sony-dslr-alpha-100-to-an-offcamera-flash#1375745 What sort of flash are you using in the shoe?<br> <br> The Sony is the Minolta AF flash mount, I used a similar flash converter on my canon to connect an old Minolta flash. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.94077-1375745 Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:06:07 -0800 so_ http://ask.metafilter.com/94077/How-do-I-connect-my-sony-dslr-alpha-100-to-an-offcamera-flash#1377884 I am using a vivitar flash. The FS-1100 adapter is supposed to adapt the sony hotshoe to a regular hotshoe mount. So far no luck. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.94077-1377884 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:00:51 -0800 binocularfight
