Well my flash arrived today, and I did some quick indoor tests (it's raining outside today).

I switched it on with the camera in AV mode using P-TTL and noticed an immediate improvement for indoor shots. It's simple to use and, despite my fears, is much lighter than it looks so doesn't overbalance the K-X despite looking rather bulky.

For $99 it seems like a steal!

Dear deltoidjohn,

Could you post the webpage of the dealer?
I also want to buy the EF-530 DG ST.

Thank you!

Hi boe, it's digitalcamerawarehouse at dot com dot au.

I dunno if any are left. It's a very good deal.

Thanks paddy!
I have ordered it and looking forward to receive the flash.

I didn't want to paste a link as I'm not sure of the forum rules regarding that, but that is indeed the dealer I was refering to.

They're now actually giving the EF-530 DG ST away for free with every K-r kit purchased (while stocks last).

I just got a Sigma 530 Super and the dam thing won't sync property with the camera on wireless ttl mode. The result is that I keep getting half exposed photos as it fires when the shutter is closing. This happens at pretty much any shutter speed.

Photos etc here

Anyone had any ideas on how to deal/fix this?
