Would be really great to see them. I'm wondering if the sensor saturation problems will be exacerbated by flash reflections.

William -
I apologize for the delay in posting - I have not posted in almost 2 weeks.
I have been out of town since before Thanksgiving - my father was quite ill and I flew up to NC to be with my family -
I have recently returned - as he is doing better - and I expect to get back into my routine - and into taking some more pics.
So - I hope to have some flash pics very soon.
And I will post them here so you can see them.
Thanks
=)

Samuel -
where did you get your hands on the Sigma flash ?.... I purchased an SD9 a couple of weeks back, but have been unable to find anyone with the EF500DG in stock.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Didn't Sam mention that it was being FedEx to him by Jeffrey-san? Osaka, specifically.

That's right - Thanks to Jeffrey from Japan - I got one -
It is a really nice flash - very powerful...
Here's a funny story - right after we got it, I was out taking a few night shots and took some shots of the lamp posts that line the walk ways around our homeowner's association. They are about 12 feet tall - have a large white globe on them - and also have a daylight sensor on the top that tells them to automatically come on at night -
Well...
As soon as I snapped the first shot of one, the light immediately went out - I mean completely out - not dim - but out! I was like 'Whoa!" - then I realized what had happened - so I walked over to the next lamp about 30 yards away - hit the test button on the flash, and BAM! it went out too! How funny.
I was laughing at something so silly... And of course, people were out walking there dogs, and watching me - and I am sure they thought "What is this guy doing? They see a big flash, and then..."poof!' - no more walkway lights - And the lamps stayed off for about 5-6 minutes each. And then slowly began to light up.
I felt like Dumbledore from Harry Potter - when he 'catches' all the lights from the lamp post at the beginning of the Sorcerer's Stone -
I guess I am NOT a muggle after all!
=)
Yes - friends in many places is a great thing!In this global economy, you need friends in many places

I hope to have some flash shots on the web soon...

What a 'fFunny situation, I can see you going 'poof', poof', 'poof'..... Good when you can't sleep and you're annoyed with the street lights.
That flash must also be a good defense weapon when confronted with some crazed animal or a bad guy at night.
It reminded me of last time I took a picture of a streetlamp at the local train station with my digicam. Suddenly a furious guy came at me accusing me of takin' a photo of him. He demanded the camera, I don't quite know what he had in mind. Then I said (what should I say): 'But there's no film in it!' I could see the wheels turn in his mind: 'a loony'. He just turned on his heels, and I got a picture of his back!
I'm waitin' to see the lamp photos..

Me too. I didn't want to bother you, and I was also a bit "busy" elsewhere last week. Looking forward to seeing what that puppy can do - from the brief look I had of the manual it seemed to have LOTS of neat features.
