Flash Gun Compatibility SLT-A65v

Jpglasgow — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 21:43:08 GMT

Hi Sony Community, I have an 'old' Cobra 700AF Flash Gun which was fully compatible with my old Minolta 8000i Dynax Camera. Since Sony bought out Minolta long since and my replacement Camera was a Sony SLT-A65v does anyone know if the above Flashgun is compatible with the Sony SLT-A65v?

ps. the pattern and pins appear to match up ok, but I don't wish to risk simply trying it on my Camera in case it fries the electronics.

Thanks

John

Hi JP,

Welcome to the community.

I'll see if I can track down an answer. Maybe someone else in the community has an idea in the meantime.

Thanks,

Pascale

Hi Jpglasgow

I don't think that they are compatible officially, so maybe someone here has tried that combo and could shed more light on the matter.
