I have a K200D with Sigma 530 DG Super flash and they're a wonderful combination and I can use K200D onboard flash to trigger Sigma 530 DG Super off the body.

But was wondering if I bought a Sigma 530 DG GT and mounted it on K200D, would I be able to trigger the Sigma 530 DG Super externally ? Or would I need another Sigma 530 DG Super to be able to trigger my existing Sigma 530 DG Super ?

The Sigma 530 DG Super description:

Quote:

Slave Flash

The Designated Slave function allows you use of two or more EF-530 DG SUPER flash units and also flashguns can fire together by using the channel settings. Since the EF-530 DG SUPER is equipped with this function, it can be used with all camera models. It is also possible to use the camera’s built-in flash or another flash unit in Normal Slave mode (Flash Exposure must be adjusted manually).

Anyone tried ?

thanks

George

Is this information not on Sigmas website?

I own a EF-500 ST and Super. I will do the experiment if you like.

It should work if you're firing the ST in manual to suppress the preflash. That limits you a little bit since that ST doesn't offer much control.
