This EF610 DG Super Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras is Sigma's most powerful shoe-mount flash yet, with a guide number of 200'/61 m and advanced features designed to work with the latest TTL auto exposure systems of Nikon DSLRs.
The EF610's auto zoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle for the focal length in use, in a range from 24mm to 105mm. When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover an angle of 17mm. The EF610 will tilt up 90°, to the left 180°, to the right 180° and down 7° for optimal control.
Other advanced features are a modeling flash function, multi-pulse flash, TTL wireless flash, FP (high speed) flash, rear-curtain Synchro flash and manual flash mode, which allows the photographer to set the flash power level by up to eight stops. The Auto Power-Off function automatically shuts off the LCD panel to help save battery power. When the flash gun is fully charged, a confirmation ready light will be emitted.
The EF610 is compatible with Nikon AF DSLRs. A carrying case and flash stand (FS-11) are included with the flash.

Comments about Sigma EF610 DG Super Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras:
The swivel and tilt lock solidly in place so nothing shifts if you are moving around a lot. The zoom is relatively quick and produces a nice field of light. The recycle is quick enough on alkaline batteries. Definitely worth considering if you are looking for a powerful flash. I'd buy it again.

Comments about Sigma EF610 DG Super Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras:
I've got a nikon version to use with D7000. So far I am very happy with the purchase. People have complained about bad manual and weak explanation in the manual, but it is quite easy to use and getting this to work is not so hard.
It is a good alternative to SB900 which is twice as much. =)

Comments about Sigma EF610 DG Super Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras:
The product is great for its price. It works perfectly with my Nikkon D5000 in the TTL mode. The reason for me to buy it was the ability to set the flash mode manualy. The only thing to complain is the manual, that is a little complicate to understand.

Comments about Sigma EF610 DG Super Flash for Nikon DSLR Cameras:
I'm a student and my budget wouldn't allow me to purchase a Nikon SB900. After reading several reviews reviews elsewhere, I thought that this would be fairly comparable at a much lower price. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but definitely meets my needs. So far, it's been great. The recycling time is quicker than I expected. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality flash for under $300.

I wanted a flash for my Nikon camera but did not want to pay the price Nikon was asking for theirs. This flash proved to be of excellent quality with no known defects.
