    Quick question: has anybody tried the Sigma EM 140 DG ringlight?

    It is said to support iTTL so I am considering it over the SB29s.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Thanks and cheers

    Briefly tried it, was not impressed with the light as it was not very much evenly spread.

    Much prefer my SB29s although a little more trouble to adjust

    Thanks Yves!

    You more or less convinced me already. I consider macro-photography with ring-flash mostly manual work anyway. I guess once you found your ideal settings you don't really need iTTL.

    I have the em-140. I'm not impressed either. I'm considering selling it to get a nikon.

    I have been told that Nikon will have a new ring flash this summer.
