Bit the bullet and purchased a flash.


After going from thinking about buying a flash to not buying a flash I decided to go for it. I had a hard choice as I was working on a limited budget and there were only a few flashes to choose from. My first requirement was it had to be a P-TTL dedicated flash. Next it had to have a power zoom with a lens range of 105mm or more. Also it had to swivel up and down as well as right and left for vertical shots. That last one left the Pentax AF-360 out as it does not swivel right and left. Next it also didn't have as powerful a flash and the 105mm lens range. So after looking around I choose the Sigma EF 530 DG ST which swivels and has the 105mm lens with a range of 174'. I ordered it this morning from B&H, and it should be here either tomorrow or Friday depending if it ships today. I am planning on not having any trouble using it, but who knows as i am not a camera expert.
