Minolta 4000AF Flash works on Sony A6000.
1 of 1 found this helpful The flash I received is almost new, with no signs of abuse although it is close to 30 years old. It worked very well on my Sony ILCE-6000. As expected, neither the TTL nor the "auto" mode work on the newer cameras.
First you set the power output of the flash, (full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and MD "Motor Drive"). Lower output saves battery and reduces recharging time, up to 2 pictures per sec. The user manual says you may get up to 1600 shots on 1 set of 4 AA batteries.
Then you adjust the Sony camera for Manual Mode, set ISO, shutter speed (no more than 1/200 sec.), and aperture, depending on the distance of your subject. The zooming on both the camera and the flash has to (more or less) match a film camera. I use 50mm on the camera and 70mm on the flash. At this setting, the GN (Guide Number) is a whopping 45 meters (148 ft) at full power, for ISO 100. Compare that with the GN 6 meters of the built-in Sony A6000 flash!There are many web sites with the Minolta 4000AF flash user manual available for free.
When I first got this flash it refused to fire from the hot shoe on the A6000, but fired perfectly on a Minolta XE-7 camera. I found the problem to be the black paint on the Sony hot shoe. A light sanding with a nail file on the inside rail of the hot shoe was enough.
