I have a Minolta maxxum A7. I ordered a few lens and they came with a flash . The model of the flash is Maxxum 2800 AF. It works by itself because I tested it. Put batteries in and hit the test button. And it fired. The manual for the camera said that this flash needs an hot shoe adapter which I ordered and it stays on the flash. My question now is Can I test the flash on camera to see if it fires without having film inside? I don't want to waste 1/2 a roll just to find out and send the film in for processing, just to find out if it works or not. Can I turn the camera on without film and play around with the flash? If I need film to do it I will wait til I have something to shoot. The camera has an on board flash btw. It's a fully loaded 35mm SLR. Lot's of bells and whistles for a film camera. The heyday before digital took over/became popular
thanks in advance
