Sigma EF350 DG

[nickzou]

Looking to buy a flash. My budget is around the SB-600 mark, I don't really want to spend any more than that and I heard the SB-600 is pretty fine flash. I found the Sigma EF350 DG while looking to save some extra money. Looks decent, good power. Does anyone have any experience with this flash? Is it comparable to the SB-600?

I'm not familiar with the Sigma flash, although I'll assume that it's like most of their product line; decent, but not outstanding. The main reason to go with an SB600 (or any Nikon model) is to allow you to use their Creative Lighting System (CLS); the Nikon name for wireless flash connectivity. The Sigma unit will allow you to use TTL flash metering, but NOT the CLS. The SB600 is indeed an excellent unit.
