Sigma EF-530 DG Super Electronic Flash for Nikon DSLR Review

I have an SB-600 as well as the ef-530 dg super and could not get the Sigma to work as a CLS slave until I found a link from another frustrated user who figure it out. It works great now, but only if you do the following:
1) setup D7000 flash in commander mode and leave channel set on "1"
2) turn off camera and mount ef-530.
3) turn on camera and flash.
4) press shutter half way to activate metering.
5) while meter is active, quickly press the Sigma's Mode button until the screen shows up with "1 C1 Fx.x" on it. the 1 is the Group number (Group A on Nikon setup), and the C1 is the channel number. If you need to change the Group, press the SEL button until it starts flashing, use + - to select the right group, then press SEL until nothing is flashing. Remember, you need to do all of this while the camera is still metering for the shot, so keep pressing the shutter down half way while you are making changes to the flash.
6)This is the last and most important step: turn off the camera but DON'T turn off the flash. Remove the flash and place it where you're going to use it and don't hit any buttons (except ZOOM), or you'll have to start over. The Sigma will not go into standby mode as long as it's in the CLS slave mode, so no worries there.

Note: one author said to turn off both the camera and flash in step 6, which I did. When I turned the flash back on, it still showed the correct screen "1 C1 Fx.x" but it would NOT fire. Only by leaving the flash on after it has been programmed on the hotshoe will it retain the settings. Because the flash does such a great job (and it's cheap compared to an SB-900), I'm giving it 4 stars. Having to mount the stupid thing in order to program it is the only drawback I've found. Some say it tends to overexpose, but I'm not having that problem and could easily compensate by dropping the EV setting if it were an issue.

Hope this helps.
