Search oboy for "FS-1100". That's the Minolta to standard shoe adapter
now long out of production. However, oboy has several (at least)
varieties of shoe adapters referencing (but not necessarily the same as)
the FS-1100. You'll have to review their claims for camera and flash
compatibility. The real FS-1100 only provides three contacts which I
think were for Minolta flash units prior to autofocus. For sure no TTL
with film gear. I have one which I use to drive various flash units in
manual mode only.
