I am stuck between the Pentax AF540FGZ and the Sigma EF-530 DG Super. Which one will you go for and why?
Thanks all.

I'd considering these 2 as well. BTW, what is the price of the Sigma? I was quoted $400+ at OP. Thats too near AF-540. Not real price??
The one above taken with Sigma flash 530 DG Super ... without diffusion ...
I feel more stable with Sigma ....
I love the price of the Pentax 540 currently as it has gone down to almost the same price as the Sigma. The only problem is that there are no stocks in SG as there is a shipment delay and stocks will only come in 3rd week or last week of Oct 2009.
Now the dilema, I need to use the flash for an event on the 3rd of Nov 2009. IF stock does not come in by 3rd week, looks like I will go for the Sigma although my 1st choice is the Pentax . . . :dunno::angry:
Need time to famililiarise myself with the flash right? At least 1 week before . . .;p
for the money i dun like the AF540... but there is nothing better from pentax... sigma is a good alternative... if given a choice, i choose not to have any flash...
Which did you choose?
flowerpot went for the 540 lah, although he sold it already ...
Given the current price of 540, I'd go for it anytime. It's just 60 dollars difference, what's the point buying a third party one while you spent 4xx for a flash? When 540 was priced at 6xx, I can understand why some guys went for the much cheaper Sigma. But now I just don't understand why you'd consider the Sigma at all.
