    I've just bought a new Sigma EF-500 DG Super flash gun (£150-) and
    have found out you can not dial in flash compensation by changing the
    ISO speed. Even with the camera to manual,when you adjust the flashes
    ISO and the shutter is half pressed it the Sigma flash ISO reverts
    back to the cameras ISO.

    There is also no flash Auto just Manaul and TTL.

    I've just seen two 2nd hand for sale at £130 pounds each. I went for
    the Sigma because it uses ADI.

    Does the Minolta 5400HS and Dynax 5 combination allow for some type of
    flash compensation method ie. ISO adjustment independant of camera?

    Do you think (one and all) that I should have gone for the 2nd hand
    5400HS ?

    Hey Chris, take your questions elsewhere. Try photo.net or
    something. Plenty of amateur assholes like you over there. This
    group is for photography veterans. We are a very elite group, and
    you are not welcome here.

    **** OFF! SHOVE A TRIPOD UP YOUR ASS, PRICK!

    Not that I know of. What's wrong with changing ISO on the camera?
    Well... chances are that the Sigma will work with the new digital Maxxums.
    It is pretty much guaranteed, however, that the 5400HS won't. From that
    point of view the Sigma is a more solid buy.
