Shoe identification?

[philter25]

Hey All,

I inherited a bunch of photography equipment and one of the pieces I got was a Kalimar AFZ-7000 flash. However, the shoe on the flash did not match the Canon cameras I inherited, so I was curious if anyone could identify this shoe and what camera the flash would work with?

I have no idea.
It's not the Minolta/Sony iISO hot shoe, and you already know it's not the industry standard ISO 518:2006 most camera makers use.

Are you sure? It looks like it would go right on a Minolta hot shoe. And the pattern of the contacts is the same too.

I just checked the shoe extension pictures, and I think it looks like it does fit the Sony / Minolta hot shoe.

According to that picture on the hot shoe flash extension, it looks like a match!

Looks pretty much like a perfect match to me.

That is a Minolta QTsi - my first SLR, lol. I still have it... It's basically a Point & Shoot SLR. No Manual mode, not even aperture or shutter priority. All it has are the 'creative' modes - you know, 'sports', 'portrait', 'landscape', that stuff. I did take some good photos with it though... I'll probably give it to the kids soon (one's 3, one's 5).
