Sigma 530 DG SUPER / ST - share your experience

i am shopping around for my first flash on my K10D. i decided to take the pentax 360 for budget reasons. i encountered online about the Sigma 530 DG Super and the Sigma 530 DG ST. Any difference between the two? do you have any experience using these flash?

thanks.

DG Super has WIRELESS FLASH, and some more modelling features and functions. i would go for the super, the extra £70 is worth it for the wireless function. i am also looking at the same flash. loads better than the pentax equivalent in terms of price.

Search the forum. I think about a week ago there was a similar thread about the Sigma flash.

I bought mine off Gene's Pentax in the Marketplace in this forum ... excellent flash ... works a treat indoors with swivel and bounce head.

I really need to learn more about it ... but so far with my limited experience and use ... it produces better than excepted results when it comes to my lack of experience.

thank you

thank you guys for your inputs. Based on the information I have gathered on the net, it seems that the sigma 530 is better than the 360 in terms of performance and functionality.
