I use both the AF540 and Sigma 500DG-Super on a DS and DS2, generally
bouncing off the wall behind me or left/right and seem to get more
consistent results if the zoom on the flash is set to manual rather than
letting it zoom with the lens. I don't know why that should make a
difference, but it does.
For all its cost, I got results as good or better with my old Sunpak 522
potato masher. Sometimes I wonder if I should have spent the extra $$
for the Metz 58 AF-1.

Dave,
I'm using a AF540 flash on the K20D.
The results are inconsistent, or perhaps I just don't know how to use it.
I prefer the TTL flash on the *istDS and used it before I had the
AF540 with better results.
Painful considering how much the AF540 costs...
Regards, Bob S.

No question: the Nikon flash control is better.
It made the cat disappear in #7282, though. Strange.

Using the K10D and 77ltd and D200 and 18-70, both from the
same point,
same settings.
Af 360 on K10D and sb800 on D200.
Huge difference in adding light to shadows,,as seen in the
couch
shots, and the shots of Boo in direct sun.
K10D way overexposed in the high lights, D200 opens up the
shadows,
with no blow outs.
The D200 is winning me over with the SB800.
