Sony a6000 flash attachment ?
Dec 12, 2014 15:22:37 #
I have a new Sony a6000 with 2 Sony lenses and before going to Massachusetts for Christmas I wanted a flash unit for indoor photos. I ordered one from Amazon that claimed to be a dedicated mount for the a6000 and it did not fit my camera. It came with 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger and cost about $115. Has anyone had any experience trying to use a flash on this model?

You will need a flash that fits the Sony Multi-interface shoe. Sony flashes that fit have an "M" suffix. The only other compatible flash I know of is the Nissin i40. Otherwise you will need a mult-interface to Minolta adapter. These should be available on Amazon or B and H.

Sony adapter ADP-MAA (available from B&H)will allow you to use any old style Sony or Minolta flashes on this camera. I use Sony
model HVL-36AM and get good results

Correction....the flash works fine. Operator error. Was shipped with an adaptor for my camera and works fine. My bad. Everything is working as it should.
