Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma EF-530 DG Super Electronic Flash for Nikon DSLR
Customer Review: For the money, hard to beat!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's get the negatives out of the way. The manual is not great. You have to do some figuring out on your own. If that's not for you, then spend the money and get a Speedlight where there is a bounty of information available. Now that that is out of the way, let's move on.
For the money, I don't think you will find many better flash options. Sure, I would have liked to have a Speedlight; however, I am working through how to get better flash pictures. And the reality is that I didn't want a $400+ 'experiment' to start that process. While it has taken some time to determine how to change all of the flash settings and their impact, I was completely OK taking the time.
If you are looking to make a foray into flash photography and don't want to spend a bundle to get into it, then this is the flash you have been looking for given that you are somewhat a curious sort and have the patience to experiment. If you are not patient, then spend the money on a Speedlight and leverage all of the information available on them. Time or money, it's your choice.
Description of Sigma EF-530 DG Super Electronic Flash for Nikon DSLR
The EF-530 DG SUPER is designed to work with both AF 35mm SLR and digital Canon EOS cameras. The EF-530 DG SUPER is a multifunctional shoe mount type flash that provides a large amount of light, featuring a guide number of 53/m (174/ft) w/ISO 100. Among the diverse features of this flash, are the Autozoom function, which automatically sets the illumination angle in accordance with the focal length of the lens ETTL exposure control, which automatically regulates the amount of light bounce and swivel head functions, which comes in very handy for bounce photography FP flash, which is capable of synchronizing the flash illumination with high shutter speeds and the rear curtain synchro flash mechanism, which makes delayed synchro photography possible.When there's insufficient or unsuitable light available to take a picture, it's of paramount importance to have a ready source of supplementary light to fulfill the need. That's where Sigma's EF-530 DG super-electronic flash comes into play. Designed exclusively for Nikon digital SLR cameras, the flash offers a powerful guide number of 174 feet/53 meters and boasts the latest TTL automatic flash exposure control for easy operation. More significantly, the EF-530 is outfitted with a host of advanced features, including a modeling flash function, a multi-pulse flash, a TTL wireless flash, an FP (high-speed) flash, a rear-curtain synchro flash, and a manual flash mode that allows the photographer to set the flash power level by up to eight stops. The auto power-off function, meanwhile, automatically shuts off the display to save battery power. And when the flashgun is fully charged, the flash emits a confirmation-ready light, letting you check the flash exposure level through the camera's viewfinder.
Like Sigma's lenses, the EF-530 flash incorporates the latest features and technological advances, most of which aren't found on any other flash units save those made by the major camera makers themselves.
