Delays in getting Sigma EF530 DG ST Flash

I've been waiting 4 weeks for my Sigma EF530 DG ST Flash. The distributor (huge national camera retailer) has been onto Sigma as their orders for this are piling up. I originally ordered the EF500 but that got discontinued, so at least I got a free upgrade to the new model.

I wonder if this is related to the huge Sigma warehouse roberies?

PS: Does anyone have any experience with the EF530?

Cheers.

You can still purchase the 500 DG Super at tristate camera and video for about 230 with shipping in the US.

The ST model is limited in functions. With only 2 manual flash modes, no FP or rear curtain sync, all you really get is a P-TTL flash with zoom, and for that kind of price, you could purchase several old school auto thyristor flashes used in manual mode while getting the same results. For more creative effects and manual options, I would recommend paying the extra for either a 500 DG Super or a 530 DG Super.

I faced a similar problem with the EF530 DG ST as well. The distributor say that stock is only available in Japan in Nov and the earliest I can get it is End Nov. This is truly frustrating as I have been waiting for the flash like 3 months or so.
