I shoot with the Sigma 500 Super in AV, Manual, Hyper, and TV modes at various ISOs from 200 to 800. I've used it in trailing curtain mode and high-speed synch mode. I find that it works well and delivers good results under all conditions, as long as the contacts are clean and the flash is securely mounted. If the connection is flawed, the flash operates but the exposures are way off. I use all kinds of devices to soften the flash, including a softbox attachment, a reflector, and a reflector with holes in it that bounces some of the light off the ceiling. All work well if the distance is within the range of the flash. Paul
