the WORSE part is there are 2 metal bars on the both sides of the hotshoe rails which prevent you from pushing standard triggers like Elinchrom Skyport, cheap Yongnuo triggers etc...fully into the A99 hotshoe. So the back of the trigger is always hitting my forehead! I'm planning to file down the front of my triggers' plate so they can go in all the way

I love sony tech.. I do..  I want to be a sony shooter.  I invested about 10k since the a99 came out but if they are going to keep allowing absolutely amateur engineering mistakes to mess up their ergonomics I may have to toss in the towel I guess its sad but that stupid hot shoe upsets me.  I used to keep my 58s handy and just snap them in, no covers on things nothing.  Very durable.

This new flash hotshoe SUCKS BIG TIME..  ANd watch.. they will use it for the next 10 years just because that is the ridiculous kind of thing they do.

It SHOULD be a standard hotshoe.  WHY did they have to ruin a great, basic common component?
