Quick question about flashes: AF 360 triggering Sigma 530

Can the AF 360 fgz trigger the Sigma 530 DG Super? How about the Metz models (can the af 360 trigger it?)

Cheers and thanks in advance

I sometimes use my Sigma flashes in conjunction with a friend's Pentax 360 and 540 with no problems. We went up to five flashes in P-TTL and the exposures were good. Maybe not as good as a Nikon CL system, but good.

Also had no problems with my 2 (+popup) flash setup with 540 and EF500 Super.
Whether one's on camera acting as the master, or both being slaves, they've worked every time. P-TTL can be a little inconsisent (as you'd expect), but once you get to know the 'personalities' of each flash, you can dial up the FEC to the right levels for the effect you want.
