Customers say

Customers appreciate the flash power of the camera flash. It works well as a fill flash, balanced with the ambient light, and is well-controlled without needing to tweak the DP1 setting. However, some customers find that the flash level is not very powerful, and it only works for a few times before dismounting.

5 customers mention "Flash power"5 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the flash power. They find it works well as a fill flash, balanced with ambient light, and is well-controlled without needing to tweak the DP1 setting. The flash can be used as a pocket flash, daytime light balancing, and to reduce harsh sun-caused shadows. Some customers build flash accessories to increase the flash power without too much weight. Overall, they consider the product satisfactory overall.

    5.0 out of 5 stars pocket flash power

    Although quite compact -- I can fit it into the coin / watch pocket of my Levi's (trim cut). Yet, the output is sufficient for night time photos within a few dozen feet of the camera. It's real beauty is in day time light balancing and fill flash to reduce harsh sun-caused shadows. It helps reduce the limited dynamic range of Sigma DP2M sensors and is fully synchronized with all Sigma DP cameras. It can be used manual mode for other cameras. I plan to do that, but haven't yet. This strobe is well worth the investment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars nice add on for an extra boost.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2009
    first of all, the DP1 is an awesome camera that has extremely flexible RAW files. That being, there are rarely times when I need a flash. With this little flash, I can manually compensate for fill in bad conditions. I'd love to see a bounce option... why i gave it 4 stars, but it's compactness makes up for what it lacks... that's kind of the point of the camera/flash anyway right? The build quality is no where near as awesome as the camera body, but is still well built for a flash and has a super clean stylish look.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A nostalgic flash for a compact camera

    The EF-140 is a good to have add on to the Sigma DP1 camera, which is the only TTL compatible flash for it. Flash power is well controlled without need to tweak DP1 setting. A good slim build flash accessories to increase the flash power without too much weight. The downside is the plastic material build is kind of weak build.

    The product itself performs satisfactory, however, mine works for only a few times until when I dismounted it without turning the power off first. The unit then stopped working since.

    The warrenty repair needs both the receit and the warrenty card which I misplaced so please save your card in case you need it.

    This flash is not the most powerful, won't bounce off the celing, but it works excellent on the the Dp-1. It stands tall to keep the light somewhat off axis helping the pictures to look a bit better with direct flash. It works very good as fill flash balanced with the ambient. Being small keeps the idea of the Dp-1 being a compact camera

    The built in flash in the Sigma DP1 is not very powerful and so I bought this to throw a little more light on the subject. It works better than the flash in the camera. Its still not real powerful but definitely an improvement.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Correcto para la Sigma DP2 Merrill.
    Reviewed in Spain on January 30, 2014

    A favor: el reducido tamaño y la comodidad para llevarlo a cualquier parte en el bolsillo, bolsa de fotografía o incluso permanentemente acoplado a la cámara ya que debido a su poco peso esta no bascula. Cumple perfectamente su comitido con el tipo de cámara que utilizo.

    Que le pediría: cabezal basculante y orientable, mayor num. de guía, baterías tipo AA... Pero todo esto es imposible en tan reducido tamaño. Está bien como es.

    Passt.
    Günstig & handlich. Selbst der Energieverbrauch ist OK. Zwei AAA Zellen.
    Damit kann die DP2M gut in Portrait Szenarien arbeiten.

    Flash economico in linea con le aspettative. Possibilità di uso ttl e manuale (in questo caso bisogna fare i conti col numero guida per impostare diaframma e distanza del soggetto). Spedizione veloce. Tutto ok. Molto carino.
