In theory you can use an adapter sold by Sony so you could use the HVL-F58AM on the newer hot shoe found on the latest Sony cameras, but I never tried it.

Yes with the ADP-MAA Multi Interface Shoe adapter. Better to buy the HVL-F60M Flash unit.

From what I read, the HVL-F60M is a replacement for the HVL-F58AM which both seem to be compatible with other Alpha cameras. My A700 camera works well with the 58 & I have not been following very closely all the latest info/details on Sony's DSLR products. I hope this helps.

Yeah. I work with sony a77 with FA-HS1AM adapter (must be modified - too low voltage to start trigger!!!). Nikon - works good. Leica works good too. Flash complex by Aurora (Korea)

If you bought the Sony version of this flash, it should lock onto the A77 proprietary flash shoe because it is specifically designed for it. It will not lock onto the A77 Mark II flash shoe because that uses a standard, non-proprietary flash shoe.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I have never used the A7, but what I know about the adapter is that it is a manual one, you will loose all automatic functions of the lens, so it works best for the old Nikkor lenses, before they became all inclusive and automatic. Also as others suggested this is a full frame adapter, we also use it on the NEX 700, but there it uses only a portion of the frame. I hope this helps.

Yes it is. The A58 uses the newer MIS shoe, which is what the HVLF43M has. The M, alone on the end indicates that the flash is for the MIS shoe. If you want the older Sony Alpha style show look for the HVL-F43AM (Note the AM)

No it wont work on the camera builtin flash it needs a high speed external flash

it "should" as all the Alphas have the same shoe - but be sure your flash is a low trigger current flash - I burned out my adapter with a Metz 60CT-5...

Yes, I use on a A7r. You of course have to use one of the two A to E adapters.

Yes, it is listed as compatible with the A37 on Sony's website http://store.sony.com/p/Flash-for-%26alpha%3B-DSLR-Cameras/en/p/HVLF43AM#compatability

as long as the Strobo frame has the correct hotshoe, of course. Otherwise you'll need an adapter. HVL-43am has a standard Minolta hotshoe. Not sure what hotshoe the A7R has.

I don't remember if I tested the a55 specifically. I know it works with the a77 because I ended up buying one. I tried every alpha body in the camera store and they all worked except my a580. That was the only body that would not work with the Kings.

I don't own an a7 but assume it will work. I am using mine in Paris with my Canon 5D and 24-105 Lens with no problem. I really like the portability.

I have had no experience with the a77 But it works very well with my nex7 which uses the same hot shoe

It works great on my friend's A77 markI and also on A580. We use that adapter to mount a Youngnuo 603II wireless flash trigger on top of the camera for firing 3 Youngnuo YN560III wireless flashes, it works perfect and no misfires. Note: It will not fit the just released in 2014 A77 MarkII, it already comes with a standard ISO hotshoe instead of the minolta/sony hotshoe. Hope this info helps!

Cornel,I would check Sony's website for compatibility issues. If you can't find anything on-line, maybe contact customer support. I know this light is designed to be used with cameras other than their camcorders but I don't have one and have no idea if this light is compatible. I would venture a guess that it would fit in the hot shoe, but whether the features would work with the camera might be an issue. The owner's manual gave no clues about using it with the A7.Rick

No, the Sony Alpha HVL-F20M flash will not work on the Sony A35. The flash will mount to ANY Sony Digital Camera with a Multi Interface Shoe (ISO).
