Sigma
The Sigma EF-610 DG Super is a discontinued shoe‑mount TTL flash designed for Sony A‑mount DSLRs, offering a strong GN 61, versatile head adjustments, and a full suite of features such as wireless TTL, high‑speed FP sync, and 8‑stop manual power control.

Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers at DPReview and Photography Bay commend the Sigma EF-610 DG Super for delivering OEM‑level GN 61 power and a rich feature set—including modeling flash, multi‑pulse, TTL wireless, and FP high‑speed sync—at a budget price, while noting its slower recycle time and limited wireless master capabilities as the main trade‑offs.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally find the flash reliable for TTL shooting on Sony A‑mount bodies, praising its ready‑light indicator, battery endurance, and flexible bounce options, but they frequently mention slower recycle speeds, occasional ADI communication quirks on newer cameras, and a less premium plastic feel.
Common Complaints
Slow recycle time (~5 s), occasional ADI communication issues on newer Sony cameras, bulkier plastic construction, and difficulty finding replacement units after discontinuation.
What People Are Saying
“The "ready" light and battery life are dependable.”
“Some report availability issues post‑discontinuation.”
