I'm looking to buy a ebay wireless trigger like pt04 V2s with 2 or 3 receiver like this : http://cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Flash-Trigger-PT04-3-receivers-for-Canon-flash_W0QQitemZ270324625135QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCame ra_Flash_Accessories?hash=item270324625135&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|2 93:1|294:50#ht_2952wt_907

I've talk with the seller and he told me of this trigger doesn't work with my Sigma EF-530 DG SUPER. BUT, my girlfriend received the old version of pt-04 used in gift, and we have tried our 2 Sigma EF-530 DG Super with and It works.

Is the seller doesn't know what he said? or the new version won't really work with my flash???

other question
My sigma is my master flash. With the wireless trigger, i'm looking to buy 2 others flash, but I don't want any expensive flash, I'll use that occasionaly only. I was looking for vivitar 285Hv, sunpak or used nikon flash like sb24. Do you have other kind of flash who will be in the same price and same quality of that?

Can't answer your first question. For the second question though, the vivitar is an excellent little flash. Another to look into is the Nikon SB-26.

And welcome to the forum!

I cant answer your question either but thanks for the link! I'm looking for an ebay trigger and the receivers on this have a much thinner profile than anything I've seen thus far!

I'm fed up with mine. They were ok in the beginning but i'm getting tired of the mis-fires happening more and more occasionally.

If i were you, i'd just go with cybersyncs. it'd be the better investment.

Fully agree. Exactly why I got PWs now :D
