If you are talking about the current Minolta ring flash model, you can forget
about using it with anything different than a recent Dynax/Maxxum camera.
Starting with model 7000i, Minolta has changed its flash shoe to a "hot shoe
incompatible" form. You cannot adapt the current ring flash to a Leica (at
least not without welding around in the circuits)
