Russell Boate WROTE:
I am planning on buying a more powerful dediated flash for my A2. I
currently use a 300EZ with my shorter lenses and a vivitar 285hv when I need
a powerful flash. I am considering a new 540ez or the sigma ef500 super,
can anyone who has used the sigma for at least a year comment on the
durability of this flash. is there anything that I will gain with the sigma
as it is based on newer technology?

Russell,
Just an FYI. The Canon flashes are actually made by Panasonic (National
outside NA) as are many of the others. I would not be surprised if the Sigma
was made in the same factory as well.
It amazing these days who actually manufactures products. Kodak video tape
(SONY), DELL Monitors & Laptops (SONY), Leica Digilux (Panasonic), Certain
Leica-R lenses are made by Sigma or Kyocera (Kyocera being the parent of
Yashica who manufactures the Zeiss lenses and Contac cameras, Hasselblad
XPAN and their new Hasselblad H1 (Fuji), Minolta and Rollei Point & Shoots
(Samsung), etc.
Sorry for the wordiness. If I went on any further Chip would have to rebutt
me somewhere along the way.
