I use this with an Evolt 500. Works great, but I have to constantly re-lock the flash onto the hotshoe. It works loose and will fall to the ground. By the way- it can take a licking!

Comments about Olympus Olympus FL-50, Electronic Off Camera Flash for the E-1 Digital SLR Camera, Guide Number 164 feet / 50 meters at ISO 100.:
Very good results with all the photos I have taken. Doesn't blast the subject with light. Mates extremely well with my E-1. I had tried the FL-36 but it does not seem to work nearly as well with the E-1. It is fine with my E-300.

Comments about Olympus Olympus FL-50, Electronic Off Camera Flash for the E-1 Digital SLR Camera, Guide Number 164 feet / 50 meters at ISO 100.:
When it works, it delivers great results. I've had a number of circumstances where the camera and the flash wouldn't communicate, especially when cold. When this happens either the camera thinks it's not attached and tries to pop up the internal flash or the FL-50 doesn't fire at all. Don't know if it's a camera issue or flash issues but for a flash supposedly matched for this camera the results are mixed. I should mention that the camera is an E-500.

Use this flash With Olympus E300 and into Umbrellas for Main or fill lighting, with radio triggers.
Never given me any proplems, camera communicates well with lens choice and flash focal length.

Comments about Olympus Olympus FL-50, Electronic Off Camera Flash for the E-1 Digital SLR Camera, Guide Number 164 feet / 50 meters at ISO 100.:
I bought this flash for the Leica DigiLux-3, which uses the Olympus flash electronics within the camera. It integrates very well with that camera and the exposures are consistent when using this more powerful flash unit instead of the internal pop-up.
It does not have the capability of controlling multiple flash units like the Canon 580EX or Nikon SB-800, but all, in all, I'm satisfied with the build quality, the ease of use, and the seamless integration with my camera.
