Conclusion sofar: It seems that the Sigma is not wireless controlled by the DS, an important plus over the 500FTZ is gone..... It seems that high speed sync works, but no one indicated that the flash /available light ratio improved at higher than "real" sync speed, and that is what I want to have usable fill at high available light levels..... Thanks so far, hope more info will come :-) Jos
