Quantaray PZ-1 DSZ and Sony alpha 100

Just bought a Quantaray PZ-1 and tried to work it with my Sony Alpha 100. But unless i put it on complete manual, it always fires off at maximum power and completely overexposes everything in its path.
Is the Flash compatible with the Camera at all? Are there any tricks to make it listen to the damn Camera?

Thanks.

As Alphas are digital, they are likely to be set to ADI flash integration which assumes an ADI flash unit. PZ-1 DSZ is not ADI(i think). Your best way to go about it is to swich your camera to a TTL metering mode.

    Sorry for the rush response here. I found that Digital cameras do not have a TTL mode and work on pre-flash only. It seems that a newer flash unit is the way to go. On the side note, there are some digital modules for these flashes sold on the web, and they convert your old flash into digital. I would not bother though. It is to much trouble and compatibility is never a sure thing.

Having the same problem with the Quantaray 7500A and my Sony Alpha 200. I either have to go to full manual or overexposed. I've sent off a few emails to Ritz but still haven't gotten a reply.

I've used the Quantaray PZ-1 DSZ on my Nikon N80 film camera and had no problems. I would like to use it on my digital Nikon D60.
There is no problem with the trigger voltage, which I assume is your primary concern. You may not get all of the features you would with a Nikon flash, but you should be able to use it with the D60 just as you use it with the N80.

I have a Quantaray Flash unit PZ-1 DSZ the foot which attaches it too the camera has broken off. Can this be repaired?
if the contacts are on that piece you can not do anything else but changing the case for it ..and I dont think this is something easy to do ...probably you will have to buy a second hand one for parts..and do it ..
But i f it is just broke ..and the contacts are still intact..try to use a high quality glue ..and repair it ...and if you are not very fun about the looks it will work ,,

Will the PZ-1 DSZ fire remotely as a slave unit?
Go to photo.net for a more comprehensive answer on this unit. But you should have a "slave" setting. May be called an optical trigger. You will need another flash to set it off though.

DOES THIS FLASH WORK ON CANON REBEL XSI?
Yes and no. It will work fine as a manual flash, putting the burden of figuring out correct exposure on your shoulders. It will work fine in the automatic modes on a Nikon camera.

Quantaray makes a Canon version of the flash which will work in the automatic modes on the Rebel XSi.

I have a sony alpha 100 i want to buy a 1993 minolta maxxum 3xi with 35-70 and 70-300mm lenses. Those minonolta lenses are compatible with my alpha?
I took the following off of the Alpha website
"Sony Alpha lens mount
Identical to the Minolta A-type bayonet mount, enabling the use of a large back catalogue of existing Minolta and third party lenses"

I know that the lenses that fit my son's Maxxum will not fit my non-Maxxum Minolta bodies. VERIFY THAT THE LENS YOU WANT TO MATE TO YOUR SONY HAS THE MINOLTA A-TYPE MOUNT.

Will not fire any more
Suggestion: Before to spend any money in this direction, try to clean the electric contacts and be sure that batteries are fresh and fully charged (a voltmeter can help).
