Hi, I have a Minolta X700 and a Minolta 30fx flash unit that I used on my X370. Will this flash work, and be fully functional in the "P" mode? Or must I have a...

If the leak line is vertical and on the left side, this would suggest the damage is coming either from the latch end seal (which is almost impossible in a...
