Designed exclusively for Sony digital SLR cameras, the flash offers a powerful guide number of 174 feet/53 meters and boasts the latest TTL automatic exposure system for easy operation.

Customer Reviews
Returned to factory for repair after 3 days
The flash under exposed in all pictures. Tried to use it on a Canon Rebel, 300D, and a Canon Rebel XT, 350D. Every picture was under exposed in full auto and programed mode on both cameras. Place where purchased stated that it needed to be sent to Sigma for warranty repair. Have not recieved the unit back from them yet.
Good Choice
A powerful flash, well priced alternative for the Sony Alpha system. I am getting good results at 60 foot plus distances even with 300mm focal lengths. Well worth the price.
Powerful, great value. works with my Sony Alpha
I'm not a prosumer or a pro photographer. I basically wanted something that's better than the the built in flash abut not spend big bucks. I have to say that this flash fits the bill. Great for all those "portrait" moments that you want to keep.
