EM-140 DG Macro Flash

Capture Every Up-Close Detail

The Sigma EM-140 DG Macro Flash is ideal for photographing subjects in fine detail and is extremely effective for scientific and medical applications. Dual flash tubes can fire simultaneously or separately. Using only one flashtube creates modeling, which can give a three-dimensional feeling to the subject. The flash features a guide number of 14 w/ISO 100. The Modeling Flash function makes it possible to check for reflections and shadows before actually taking the flash picture. A wireless flash function is also available, where the EM-140 DG is used as master and the EF-500 DG SUPER as a slave unit for creating fine shadow details. 55mm and 62mm adapter rings are included with the flash. 52mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm and 77mm adapters are sold separately.

A wireless flash function is also available when the EM-140 DG is used as master and the EF-500 DG Super as a slave unit for creating fine shadow details. High-speed synchro and exposure compensation functions are also available for advanced flash photography.

    4 Stars
    great specialist flash unit
    Purchased this flash as I am doing a bit of macro work (mainly flowers and inanimate objects) and trying to develop my portrait photos. Using the flash with a tamron 90mm and Pentax k5 for macros and mainly the sigma 50mm f1. 4 for portraits.OK so what do I like about the flash.... Gives me light where I want it... Flexible enough to experiment with the settings till the cows come home, wireless capability, price point is just right, integrates well with my camera, seems pretty robust, flash head not too big, refresh rate is great, auxiliary light is handy and relatively easy to use.What could be improved.... Took forever to arrive (living in australia), control panel cryptic, buttons are yuk, and how I wish it was a proper ring flash.Would I recommended it..... Yep.... Would I buy it again.... Yep....Cheers
