[lkkang]

hmmm..wat brand of flash u using?

I have about 4~5 flash lights... cannot remember liao... I think it is like SUNPAK or something like that.

I recently got a Sigma EF-500DG SUPER from a CS member not long ago... too complex for me liao... :sweat: so far, I only use TTL and adjust the power to -1 or -2 if the power is too strong.

I tried to practice to get the subject half lighted by flash and half using natural light... still cannot control the moster well..

There are so much more feature to this monster. Network lah.. remote slave / master firing lah... I just never going to use it. :sweat:

I saw this lens too. Its Sharp n Contrasty, bokeh is excellent ... but some reviews claims that it is not so perfect... i am having mixed feeling to this one.

U want talk something..:think: Let's talk something...Let's talk abt FLASH!!!

Since we r gonna do a Flash Outing tml nite..let's discuss abt flash..

How much do you guys know abt the different modes of flash?
TTL? Manual? RPT? A/AA? Sync speed? Rear sync?

Share your views or knowledge here!

I using EX580II........but only set it to ETTL....cos dunno how to use manual mode:embrass:
I also set rear sync in my cam.

i usually take reviews with a pinch of salt. IMHO, it depends on the copy and the way the reviewers test the lens. also, since it is a made-for-film lens, maybe corner sharpness not there for digital FF bodies? :think:

Been using single flash for few months.. only 2 weeks ago got another flash to do off camera.. still learning.. not easy

Yes, it is the hammer flash type. There are 2 flash out-lets . One direct towards the subject ( small flash light ) and the other one (main, high power ) is able to bounce. Yes, I am also using a DIY white card-board to provide the bounce....

Somehow, the older flash are more straight forward to use... less complex.

If I am using the older flash light, I do not have any problems getting the right amount of lightings that I wanted ( 90% of the time ). But not with my new Sigma EF-500 DG, need more practice liao.

It is encouragable that everyone should try to understand their own flashguns in terms of operation, functions etc....fully utilized it for different situation.

Sunpak hammer flash is a piece of gem, its light!..the small flash light below is for winding mode if i'm not wrong (a.k.a repeated firing)..SUNPAK flash uses auto light sensor (a.k.a A/AA mode in today's flash)..which in my opinion gives better results than flashes that employs TTL..oni disadvantage with auto light sensor is, it has a limitation in range..

U got the manual for ur Sigma flash? maybe u would like to try out the other modes..
