Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma EF-530 DG ST Electronic Flash for Sony DSLR
Customer Review: It works
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this flash after returning the Bower flash which was kaput on arrival. I purchased this flash knowing that Sigma is more reputable than Bower and tests their products before marketing them. It is Made in Japan and works with Sony's ADI-TTL system with pre-flash. The only negative comment I have is that the flash tends to underexpose the shot when the background has no reflectance value like a window. Other that that, all shots came back properly exposed. Anyhow, it is a huge flash and worth the money. Until I can afford to buy the Sony flash, this will do just great.
