Hey guys,
After reading a few threads on the subject of hotshoe flash mounts, i'd like the community's opinion on this little baby:
Sigma EF-500 DG ST E-TTL Shoe Mount Flash
Its supposed to be equivalent as a Canon 550. Any takes? |

I've used it for a couple of weddings and am quite satisfied with it. While it's "nearly" equivalent to the Canon 550, there are a few differences. Do a search here and you'll see related discussions, including a link to an in-depth comparison (...I'm at work, otherwise would find that link for you :-).

Hey Lenk,
Thanks for the reply, unfortunatly the Search function seems to be down at the moment. I'll look into it some more. I have absolutly no experience with a hotshoe flash, so i'm not sure what i'm getting into, but from what i can tell, its a must have, so i'm shopping for that before a set of lighting equipement (alienbees)

You need the Super model NOT the ST.
I forget where i tripped across the info when i was looking, but I beleive the ST is not compatible with teh 20D. I know it lacks some features, one of which is e-ttl 2 which your 20D has. the price differential is not that great (check ebay) for the amount of time you'll have it.
