I just purchased a Minolta XE-5 in pristine condition, simply to fool around with, and I just attempted to attach my Minolta Auto 208PX unit atop to see if it would work with the model.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After much cleaning and taking care of the minimally used flash device, I got it working, and every time i test it, it works fine. Yet, when i attach it to the camera and take a picture with it, it doesn't work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it not compatible with the older model since it originally came with my Minolta X-700, is it a simple "newbie's" mistake or lack of though that I'm missing, or is the flash, even after cleaning out the battery corrosion and seemingly to work fine, is just shot?</p>
