Olympus FL-36 TTL Flash

Pros: tilt-swivel zoom head, easy-to-use external controls, even illumination, no red-eye

Cons: slow recovery, no standard Pontor-Compur connectivity

The Bottom Line: This is a very decent TTL flash unit, and a great value for the price!

Review: Few may know about it now, but out of all camera manufacturers, Olympus was the first one to introduce a dedicated flash system with TTL flash metering capabilities. That was way back in the 1970s, and served, I believe, their legendary OM system ...

Pros: Nice look to it, flexible angling, rotation possibilities, pretty nice programmable features and shooting distance.

Cons: Refresh sucks, (uses two batteries!) Waffer-thin hotshoe clip cracked, Olympus won't fix while under warranty.

Review: This flash was not everything I was expecting it to be. Read the Pros and Cons. I am using this for weddings, and I think it just doesn't hit the mark I wish it would. Anyone know of a non-Olympus flash I can use on my E-1??? I'm afraid I will never buy ...
