So I'm looking to purchase an external flash for my E-500. I have no idea what to look for though, so I started with the Olympus website. The flash that is within my budget is the FL-36R, which the description says:
"The FL-36R is a lightweight and compact wireless external flash. Wireless flash transmission channel settings can be controlled from the camera body, and they enable selection of flash/no flash for groups of multiple flash units. It's equipped with a 1/8 step illumination control for precision shooting, a wide-angle diffuser panel for even illumination with wide-angle lenses and a compact zoom head to accommodate lenses from wide-angle to telephoto."
The retail value is $299.99, but I found one on ebay for $219 through cametaauctions and it comes with a diffuser, batteries, blah blah blah.
My question is, does anyone have any experience with this flash, and if so, what did you think of it? For those who do not have experience with this particular flash, are there any flashes that you would recommend instead? |
