FZ30 and minolta flash

[lotsyy]

I think the internal flash of the Panasonic fz30 is of reasonable quality. Nevertheless i would like to use my Minolta 5400 HS flash with the panasonic, but the it doesn't fit to the camera-shoe. Anyone knows if there is a way to connect camera and flash?

Thanks for helping. As far as i can see the FS1200 will connect to other analog minolta cameras. I can't see that it connects to the panasonic fz30, but i will check if it does.

Copied from B&H
For Maxxum xi and i-series flashes. Attaches i or xi-type flash to original Maxxum 5000, 7000 and 9000. Has i/xi shoe on top, ISO foot on bottom.

I think your flash has the xi or i shoe and the panasonic and most cameras have the ISO shoe so it should work. Now it will not work TTL but it should work.....ask B&H...they are camera experts.

Asked B&H, they confirm that it should work. I'll buy the converter. Thanks for helping.
