Sigma EF500DG Super for 5D?

[palary]

Anyone using this flash for the 5D?

Appreciate if you can share whether there are any compatibility issue...

Tried this flash on my A200 and both me and the staff attending to me just couldn't get it to work so I bought 3600HS (D) instead.

ok i have this flash and the 5d as well. What would you like me to test? I am pretty new to all of this. The flash does work but seems to overexpose stuff. How do i check if its working? its VERY oversxposed at close ranges. maybe not compatible... argh. it did work with my A1 though... argh...one of the reasons i went with minolta is because i thought i could reuse this powerful flash.

The Sigma flash has problem working with KM DSLRs. It was discussed before. Only the newest batch of Sigma flashes has this corrected and working with the 7D and 5D.
