Anyone know if it works with Sigma EF-610 DG ST.
A shop is selling them for $19

I have this item, the Pixel FC-311/S, and have found it perfectly compatible with Yongnuo YN565EX, Canon 580EXII and Metz 54MZ4 units. Basically, whatever facilities you can get with your flash direct on top of the camera, you will be able to get using this cord.

Do notice that although the description is "... for Canon OC-E3", it does not feature the cam lever lock of the OC-E3 but is actually an OC-E2 copy. Nothing lost though, I find the lever locking a bit of a pain compared with the screw-down fixing. But that's quite probably just a personal thing; maybe it's just what I'm used to with all my triggers, etc.

Yes, it's a good price - mine both cost about US$25 over a year ago.

Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!

Update*
It works like a charm. I did order the 180cm cable though.. it's a bit short.. should have gotten the long one 10m (whats that in feet? like 30 feet?)

1 metre = 39.37 inches. 10 metres equals 393.7 inches. Thus 10 metres equals 32 ft 9⅔ inches. Approximately. Depends on the angle of the dangle and the depth of the droop how far you can really get the flash from the camera. :lol:

I thought Sweden used metric measurements? Why do you need to know in Imperial? Just out of interest, you know.
