I after buying a mini hotshoe slave unit (with PC and tripod screw fitting)so I can use a flashgun detacted from the camera. I have minotla Dynax 5 with its own Hotshoe design and would like at some stage later to buy(when I've saved up) a Metz 54 dedicated to the minolta. BUT in the mean time I thought it would be an idea to buy a 2nd hand cheaper flash with the universal type hotshoe and a slave hotshoe unit which would be set off by the minolta's built in flash. I'm doing a local Photo course and thought it would be more useful to have this setup for portrait and still work etc. Could people please suggest a few choices for slave hotshoe units. Are there many available? Cheers..... Chris...
