It could probably be used directly on the A7R ( or any other body using the Sony MIS shoe) in manual mode provided it can be positioned properly in spite of the zillion contacts Sony placed on these bodies at the front of the shoe which may prevent the shoe from making proper contact at the center. If proper central contact is not achieved, using a ADP-MAA adapter topped by a Minolta FS-1100 will do the trick. Tried it with older flashes like 360PX and a few others and it works.
The issue with using it in Manual Mode is that due to the very short distances involved, calculating the proper aperture for correct exposure is a challenge. Add to this that the assist lights will not operate the way they were designed if at all.
Thanks for the clarification.
Are you saying that the 1987 version of the Minolta 1200 Ring Light with the ISO flash shoe can be used on the Sony 7R but only in full power mode?
I assume it needs to use both the Minolta FS-1100 and the Sony ADP-MAA, right?
