Hey guys...I really want to get some wireless triggers...does anyone know of any that would work with a Sigma 530 DG Super? The cheaper the better

If the former, either another 530DG Super or Canon's ST-E2 would probably be the least-expensive options. Jon

I've already been firing it wirelessly with my on-camera flash...I'm thinking something like a Pocket Wizard so I can fire it WITHOUT having to have a light source on my camera/without having to make sure my flash can "see" my camera. (I'm not sure if I'm making sense). -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

It looks like they use AAA batteries, which would be more cost effective than the Gadget Infiniti models.

I've used the ebay triggers on my Sigma EF 500 DG Super and they worked very well. haven't - but if you look at the linked page, there should be some reviews from people who HAVE used the product...i think? remarkphotography.com
