Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma Electronic Flash EF 500 DG Super SA-N
Customer Review: Really nice piece of work
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay - I would perhaps not take this flash as the only flash for professional work trekking through the jungle and swinging from tree to tree, because the build quality, although perfectly okay (it isn't by any means flimsy), isn't quite bomb-proof pro level. Sigma uses plastic bits on the foot of the flash where metal might have been a good idea. But apart from that, this on one h*** of a flash. Got power to spare and far more functions than I or probably anyone will really want to use. Works perfectly with the Nikon D100 (supports D-TTL fine, with 3D Matrix metering no problem) and also i-TTL (D70, etc.) as advertised. Price here wasn't the only reason to go for this particular flash. I wanted a sturdy flash I could attach a Lumiquest soft box onto the front of without the head always wanting to droop, and this is perfect. Also narrow focusing of the flash beam was important, as I do a lot of corporate event photography and work with a 200mm zoom. This flash narrows the beam down to 105mm, which means you're basically fine at any sensible distance.
A very nice flash. Just don't drop the camera down the mountainside with the flash on top, or you may be gluing bits together. I can definitely recommend it. For pro use also, but not as an only flash. I have a set of Nikon flashes which used to be my primaries but are now backups. Good piece of work and plenty of power. Go Sigma!
