Sigma EF-530 DG Super + Sports Photography?

Hello everyone, i´ve got a quick question (at least i hope so..)

has anyone ever used this flash-gun for sports- or high-speed-photography (i´m thinking of skateboarding, bmx and stuff like that...)?

how are its wireless-capabilities (controlled by on-camera-flash?)

if this topic has been discussed, links are alright... sorry to bother you in that case.

thanks a lot in advance...

First, welcome to the forum. Now to your question...I just got this flash before Christmas and have been using it for a few weeks on my K200D. Love it! It works pretty good for freezing action in my son's basketball game in a huge gym, but the results are mixed (mostly user error I'm sure). Frankly, I've taken a few shots but not that many. I know this will hi-speed sync with the push of a button (only learned that on Sunday) but haven't tried it at a game yet. Can't wait to do that this weekend.

As far as wireless, though, this thing works really well. Thrown on a light stand, I can trigger it with the on-board flash no problem.

Hope this helps a bit.
