This is baffling. I have the EF-500 DG Super and have no complaints about construction. It's built better than my old AF400 FTZ and the wedding pro I worked with recently thought it seemed as well built as his Canon OEM units. It offers a lot more than the AF500 FTZ (P-TTL, wireless, high-speed sync, etc.) and from reports I've heard on this list, much better exposure accuracy than the AF360 FGZ. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
