<p>I have been using the Sigma EF610 DG Super flash for about a month now on both my Pentax K-5 & K-3. Like most first time users I am somewhat challenged when it comes to external flashes. I'm finding it fairly easy to learn with this flash. It works great with TTL ( kind of a no-brainer), and high speed sync in manual is not hard to learn; mastering it will be a different story however. That is going to take experience. You hear a lot of comments about directions on some of the flashes being hard to understand. I had very little problem with these. I'm 69yoa and very often have issues learning some of this digital "stuff". This wasn't bad at all. I don't know a lot about flashes but I would recommend this one.<br> As far as the K-50 goes? If you can manage to put out a few more $$ I would advise the K-5II, or K-3. They are built to last forever, and I will match their picture quality, and ease of use against any other. I have both a 7D & 6D Canon but the Pentax will be used more often than not. Hope this is of help to you.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Thanks for the response Larry. I had looked at the Better Beamers, and picked one that I will only have to trim about 1/10". I also contacted Sigma but they were no help; they "don't make them, and can't recommend anything they don't make". My trusty Dremel should make short work of the adjustment. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.</p>

<p>I have a Sigma 610 DG Super flash. I want to extend it's effective range. There are many extenders on the market but I would prefer to get one that won't need to be trimmed to fit. Any advice?</p>
