Comments about Olympus Olympus FL-50R Wireless Electronic Bounce and Swivel Head Flash, GN 50:

I have purchased 2 of these along with 2 FL36Rs. I use them predominately for portrait work both in my home studio and on location. I like the versatility of the small units. They work well and in sync. Also the maximum sync speed is 1/250, which is faster than most, I believe.

Comments about Olympus Olympus FL-50R Wireless Electronic Bounce and Swivel Head Flash, GN 50:

A definite upgrade from my poor little FL-36 that has been run through the mill. The RC feature on this in combination with the E-3 is a fantastic feature - matches the Nikon CLS system in functionality.
