Where have you been the last 40 years or so, Paul? Quantum's power packs
usually use a dummy battery pack with a cord to connect. Often require a
hole to be drilled or notched into the battery door of the flash as
well, which I never much liked.

Mark,
You mention that you had considered a Quantum power pack for your Sigma flash. Is
there a "power in' connecter on the Sigma? Does Quantum make a connector? I own
both the Sigma and a Quantum Battery II, but I never saw anything on Sigma that
suggested an external power source could be implemented. Am I missing something?

Though I'm a full-time student for one more semester, my only job is
photography these days. I did a couple of weddings this summer
(shudder), shot the Superbike races at Mid-Ohio for superbikeplanet.com,
I've done work for a local nature group for their presentations, I just
got a job shooting a custom Harley chopper for the owner who's trying to
get it into various biker mags and I'm selling prints through my web
site (go a last-minute Christmas order going out today). All kinds of
"odds and ends" jobs like these. Oh, and giving private lessons in
Photoshop - no kidding.
I'm pretty much all digital for work, though I still sometimes shoot
film for fun (mostly b&w in the 645). Camera is the ist-D. Most used
lenses for "work shooting" are the FA*80-200/2.8, FA*28-70/2.8 and
Tamron 17-35/2.8-4. I use the Sigma EF500 DG Super flash - if I'd
decided to do more weddings I'd have bought a Quantum power pack for it,
as it is it works fine for the shooting I do now.
