whats the cheapest way i can set up the 285hv as optical slave. i want to use this with my minolta. (i dont think theres any other way to use it with the sony-minolta system)
You can get the peanut/wein(sp) optical trigger, or a really long PC cord.

something like that maybe?
Do your camera have an on-camera flash to trigger the slave?
Um, if you want, I have some cactus triggers for sale. They have built in mounts.
There's no optical mount, but there's a trigger that mounts onto the hotshoe.
Must be a newer Minolta, cause mine accepts the 'standard' one.
