I'm still debating on dedicated flash units. It would be nice to
have one flash that did everything the body could support.
Does the Sigma support second curtain sync and wireless mode
same as the 360? is it well made enough to not feel like it was
going to fall apart in a year? The Pentax 360 and 500 units are
very nicely made, but my dealer doesn't carry the Sigma line to
compare them.
I think I might have asked this one time prior, but my memory is
going... ;-)
