any one know the answer to this question, I am looking for a second cheap slave remote flash, so --

Please can anyone tell me if the Sigma 530 super dg flash will work as wireless slave with a Pentax K-r or K-10d. I have a Metz 48 flash which I use as a slave using the pop up as either master or controller and want a second slave is this possible with the 530 or can it only be used with a separate 3rd party wireless hotshoe trigger in conjunction with the Metz flash??

or should I just look for any brand powerful flash and use a wireless trigger for both on full power and use a flash meter to set the aperture??

The price of a new pentax 540 is so high [£366.00 or a bit less from some shops] that I could buy a two studio light kit with all the extras for £336.00 [and not from ebay either] but I was looking for the portablity rather than go down the studio lights route.

I was looking at the studio lights at http://www.studio-flash.com/studio-l...-2-mkii-1.html But it looks like they don't sell them in the USA..

Edit: I just noticed you're in the UK.... Those lights would be my 1st choice over the Sigma 530.. Sigma has also released a new model as well. I think it's the 610. You might want to look at some of it specs..

As far as I know pop-up flash of K10D is always P-TTL. So, the Sigma 530 DG super as a wireless slave is somewhat limited (at least for me). Nevertheless it will work in P-TTL wireless.
