It works with D30 and didn't seem to work with G1. But G1 has documented problems with other flashes as well. What modes does Super 500 lack? I am curious! If anything, I noticed that it had a built in optical slave unlike 550ex. It also has a modeling flash, and unlike what you mention, it does have a diffuser (which I think you meant for the 17mm coverage). I am not sure you actually used this flash. I owned 550ex, 420ex and 500 super. Sigma offers incredible value for money. I was sold a lemon by Cameraworld, however. Sigma does not seem to be as quality built, but it is not a fragile flash either, just that 550ex seems sturdier. but then, it works good, and I think unless you are a very very demanding outdoors photographer, will last. But then, I will write a report about this when I finish using it for longer. It was a bit noisy when it focused. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
