Third Party Flashes

[Raskill]

Just wondering if anyone out there has ever used third party flashes, in particular this

Sigma EF-500

I need another speedlight for my D70s, I thought about the SB800 (cost prohibitive now), but these cost less, and may meet my needs.

Thanks

Raskill,
We talked about it in the early days of this forum.
Not worth it as we discussed.

Raskill,

wouldn't you be better off getting an SB6000 at a "Bargains" price? Similar price to that Sigma, looking at ebay prices for the Sigma flash.

Not sure what other flash you have, but the SB600 is also a really good flash.

Cheers,

André

I've got a SB600 just now, but need another. The sigma was just an option to look at. I nticed that a few local photogs (wedding and press) use third party flashes. I might just bite the bullet and buy an SB800 when my tax cheque comes.
