I know this is OT:
But I was a bit disappointed to discover that, as far as I can tell, the Sigma EF-500 Super, which works fine both singly and in multi-flash wireless setups with my EOS-3 and 1V film cameras, doesn't work at all with the new Powershot G2 digital (a wonderful camera, by the way). The flash fires, but the timing is off and you get a completely underexposed shot, as though there had been no flash burst at all. I've used my 550EX with the G2 digital and it works perfectly as Canon says. I don't know whether the EF-500 Super works with the D30--don't have one. The EF-500 Super can be used in manual mode with the G2 if you just take test shots till you get the manual power adjustment right. But forget about TTL metering...unless there's some workaround that I'm missing. I know Sigma doesn't make any claims about compatibility with digital cameras, but I figured, well, if you've reverse-engineered the 550EX, then you've reverse-engineered the 550EX. I guess it doesn't really work that way. --Ken S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
