    Sigma is always a winner I love Sigma products. Unfortunately a criminal broke into the house and stole all of my expensive camera equipment, but this was a brilliant product and I loved the photos I took with my DSLR with this until it was stolen. 5Excellent Flash Power is the key feature of a good flash and this one has lots of it. Much better than my Metz flash at about the same price. This is a higher model than the Metz. But it is such a good deal at Amazon'a price.02/13/13 update:Very important issue with this flash: There is a built in diffuser that if you pull it out turns off the TTL Feature. The flash becomes manual. I found that out the hard way when I let my wife take some professional photos for me. The diffuser must be pushed all the way back where it must hit a switch. You can't use it with the flash set on TTL. 5Don't buy this unreliable/poor product or it will waste your time. If there had been a choice of no start, I would have chosen that. This product started not to work after taking roughly 10-15 pictures within 2 months of very very causal use and I had to return it. Not expected to fail so fast for a product made in Japan. Also, it only provided enough lighting when it was about 10-15 feet like regular flash. For longer distance, your picture would be under-exposure even the distance is within zoom range advertised by the product and I had to increase MANUALLY the exposure in the camera to guess that I compensated enough. So very disappointing experience for a product made in Japan. I had some other flashlights of a little smaller zoom power and they worked much longer (at least over a year) even none of them can survive for longer than 2 years with a causal use only (like recitals and graduation ceremonies) but definitely they can work for more pictures than this one before they failed and they also did not have such a big problem of under-exposure like this one. 1So Far So Good I have a Canon speedlite for my Canon G11 camera, but am now using my Sony A55 most of the time. When my service club asked me to take some member portraits I knew I was going to need a new flash for the Sony and decided on this Sigma model. So far it has performed very well for me. I'm using it as a bounce flash aimed both up and to the side, reflecting off a white wall and ceiling and getting good, well diffused, directional light. It took me a while to master that technique until I realized that I needed to deploy the built-in diffuser to properly spread the light over the reflecting surfaces. The built-in pull-out white card (for enhancing catchlights) seems a bit flimsy, so I've made up a couple of my own out of white mat board, which I attach with Scunci hair bands (thanks to Larry Becker's "Cheap Shots" for that tip). Yes, the battery door is a bit flimsy, but thanks to other reviewers who highlighted that, I'm careful when opening and closing it, and haven't had a problem. I'm getting good battery life and fast recharges (about five seconds) when using Eneloop NiMH cells. 5Frankly, I don't know if it is good or not........ Amazon.com website shows its base has a wheel which is used to screw the whole thing to the camera body (and this is the style that I saw in every camera flash light.) . However, when I got mine, it is different. Its base is completely different from what is on Amazon.com webpage. There is no way that I can push it into the flash holder of my Nex 6. There is not thin wheel, instead it has a lever to hold it to the camera. Since it has a completely different base that I cannot use in my camera, I have to return it back. 3Transform your photography with this flash! I had no idea what I was missing until I bought this Sigma Flash. I use a Sony SLT a57 camera that has a built-in flash. Every year I am the unofficial photographer for my wife's charity event. The pictures come out ok but a bit dark. The built-in flash was weak and partially cut off at the bottom by my large lens. So I always tried taking photos without flash, thinking I could adjust the ISO, speed and aperture so the photos come out bright and sharp. But that never happened.I was intimidated by the idea of buying a flash. How would the camera settings interact with the flash to give me good photos? I had no idea what to expect and I didn't want to study this phenomenon for hours. Recently I read a short article that explained what TTL is. Through The Lens technology basically lets the add-on flash act like a built-in flash by using the camera's metering system. It sounded simple, though most external flashes have buttons and settings to worry about.When I took a closer look at this flash, I noticed there was a TTL setting. I could set TTL on the flash, and put my camera on Automatic or a PASM setting, and let the flash do its thing. At least, that's what I thought it meant. Sure enough, that's how it works! It's amazingly simple. If you don't want to get all caught up in manual settings and other complicated approaches, you can literally let the flash and camera do all the work. The opposite is true as well, and as I become more familiar with my equipment, I will attempt to change settings and see how that influences my shots.My first photo with the flash was in a room that was fairly dark. I took a photo of my daughter and the shot looked like it was made in daylight. Amazing!If you want to transform your indoor photography without studying for years, get this flash. It does all the work. 5Good flash, but had to return it due to communication problems with my Sony SLT-A57 camera I really liked this flash, but I had to return two of them because of communication problems with my Sony SLT-A57 camera. The flash seemed well-built, powerful, and a good deal. It was even made in Japan instead of China. But the flash lost communication with my camera after about 50 shots or so. I even returned the flash and got a new one, but the new one had the same problem. The problem was that after about 50 shots, the camera shutter release wouldn't trigger the flash. In addition, the "flash ready" led in the camera viewfinder would not indicate that the flash was ready. At first, I thought that the flash had overheated, but it would still fire when I pressed the Test Button on the flash. The flash would still zoom in and out when I zoomed the lens, so there was still some communication between the camera and the flash, but not "take the picture.". I ended up paying a lot more money to buy a HVL-F43AM flash, but the Sony worked much better with my camera. 3Good for studio use It does not have a slave function.Auto - TTL lags quite a bit.As mentioned if you use the diffuser, TTL turns off and you are stuck choosing between low or high power.Good for studio use, for outdoor low light situations your better off with a manual flash.The shoe wiggles when attached to a Sony a65. 2On a Sigma DP2 Merrill with firmware version 1.5 The EF-610 DG ST works very well with the Sigma DP2 Merrill with the latest firmware update.I did not want to spend a lot of money on the flash as for me this niche camera with great picture quality is a stop along my journey of photography. I can only practically afford to own one camera at a time. I once suffered from GAS and had an SLR with many lenses and accessories.There are limitations to this flash that were not clear to me until I read the owner's manual. There are only two manual settings FULL and 1/16. In other words, the button on the back of the flash gives three choices, TTL, MH (FULL) and ML (1/16). Don't get confused: although this flash comes with a flash stand it does NOT have any slave functionality.Note that you can adjust flash exposure compensation by 2 stops plus or minus in TTL mode. After two stops, the flash's TTL functionality does not appear to work correctly. For me, this is more an observation about the firmware on the camera than a problem I am experiencing.Final comment, the small EF-140 flash works very well for non-bounced shots, as it is very powerful for its size and could be all you really need. But it is not powerful enough for bounce (with homemade light modifiers) in anything but the smallest rooms, widest apertures and higher ISO's (400). 4Sony a77 Work's amazing with my Sony a77. Recycle time is good just don't expect to shoot sports or paparazzi but for the price it's perfect for portrait shooting and for what I need it for which is real estate photography and works better then I expected. Because Sony has an EVF "Electronic View Finder" when you're focusing in low light you can see the beams of infrared assisting the Automatic Focus and it locked on to my subjects instantly. Matched with my Tokina 11-16 it still illuminates the room with the wide angle diffuser on and doesn't leave any dark areas anywhere in the image. I highly recommend this flash and if you've done your homework the Sony HVL-F60M over heats after 40 or so shots and it's $550 although it has amazing features the fact that it overheats so quickly is a no-brainer for me. The TTL on this Sigma EF-610 works awesome and if your still not sure and would like to see other choices check out the Metz 58 AF-2 MZ 58326S this is the next flash on my list to purchase. I've only had this flash for a week now and I'll update this once I've discovered some of it's strengths and weaknesses. Hope this review has helped particularly for the Sony shooters out there seeing as most reviews are aimed towards Canon and Nikon just wanted to assure you this works perfect for your a77 but if that's not the camera you're shooting with then you might want to see if it's compatible.Edit Oct 16, 2014Initially I gave this flash 5 stars but the fact that it doesn't work well after a few months of light use I wouldn't recommend these anymore. The TTL is nice but you out grow it quickly and the high or low options just aren't very practical for most shots. They don't fire every time and the diffuser has something to do with it because if it's not fully extended or tucked away it doesn't go off and at it's best it'll take 1 shot every 2 seconds. I'd suggest ponying up the money for the HVL 58 or buying the Yongnuo YN-560 II which can pop off 8 shots a second. If you want to put on a flash and point it in a direction and shoot this is a do able option but for the money and for how long it lasts it's not worth it. I also had some unexplainable complications with this recently when using this with the Phottix on camera trigger and off camera receiver. The whole time shooting without this on everything was going off with out a hitch but as soon as I put this on camera nothing was going off so I fooled around with it a little and it popped off a few times but with the Youngnuo YN-560 both on camera and off plus a slave unit they went off every time. I think the terminals have gotten to lose or something but at first it was just the diffuser acting up now there's all kinds of stuff going wrong with it. 2
