Minolta Maxxum Flash Question

[pprocter@pipeline.com]

I just bought a Minolta Maxxum 5 and was wondering if I can use it in
manual mode with my studio lights. They need a PC socket and the new
Maxxum has only a multipin hot shoe.

Any adapters?

Thanks loads,

Philip

You can get a slave to trigger the studio strobes and use the maxxum
flash to triger that. Or there is a maxxum hotshoe device you can mount
on the camera that has a PC socket in it... (which I'm also looking for
for my old Maxxum 7xi).
