Hi Friends,

I am returning the Sigma 500 AF flash as I just dont have any control on this flash.

Wireless mode was the most difficult, the Flash would discharge when the built in flash would preflash to get the exposure, plus when the built in flash actually fires Sigma will not fire even when the built in flash acts only as controller.

The product literature was too diificult to understand and I spent hours on the trial and error method atleast to find out how this flash works. Finally about a few minutes I gave up. No more Sigma for me.

Thinking of the METZ 58 AF P/S. Hope this will solve my misery.

Any comments or advise please let me know. I will be returning the Sigma tomorrow as today is the weekend.

Thanks,
Kris
