Thanks Dave. Yep, the flash is a good unit. The only minus I've noticed
is that the special functions, such as high speed synch, tend to get
flakey when the batteries run low. So it requires a battery recharge
before you get to the point where it won't recycle. But I haven't found
that to be a problem. I use Sanyo NIMH 2300s and seem to get around 150
exposures on high speed synch and around 250 on P-TTL.

with the A 400/5.6, the A2X-S Converter and the Sigma 500 Super flash
with magnifier lens -- all on the *istD. This guy was near the same
stream where I shot the blue dragonfly. He's perched on a weed. The
background is a clump of dark green leaves directly behind the insect
with deep shade above.I positioned myself to get the leaves behind
him.
Handheld 5.6 @ 1/750th, high speed synch on the Sigma flash.

Super shot Paul. The colour and sharpness combined with the OOF
background is fantastic.
Dam it, i'm getting that flash.
