Olympus FL 36 Flash Light

The FL-36 Electronic-Flash is specifically designed for digital with an accurate 1/8 step illumination control to provide the precision required by digital cameras, while minimizing illumination reduction. The built-in wide-angle diffuser panel will allow the flash to provide even illumination with wide angle lenses like the new Zuiko Digital 14mm-45mm zoom. The inclusion of a lockable bounce and swivel mechanism offers a variety of bounce photography options including left-right, as well as top-bottom in addition to a compact zoom head to accommodate lenses from wide angle to telephoto. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-21-2008; When you need light on a thight budget; I chose this flash due to my budget. But have not been disappointed. It may have a slow cycle time. In my type of photography with light, controlled environment that has not been an issue. For macro photography of animals/insects it has...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-09-2008; Good flash for beginners; I'm new to the whole external flash scene, and this seemed to be my best option. I've used it a handful of times yielding some good results, but there are better flashes out there (for more money of course). The FL-36 is a great flash if...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-15-2008; Why I recommend it...; Lightweight but still firm enough. It can tilt and swivel, so you can bounce it whatever you like. It offers zoom range from 12-42mm, and light isn't too hard even without dedicated diffuser. You can use it in auto-TTL mode, auto-non-TTL...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-11-2008; Olympus FL-36; I bought this flash about a month ago, and wish I had bought it sooner. I have an E-500, and have had problems shooting in low-light situations. The flash solves these problems. I have successfully taken outdoor photos in the dark, as...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-15-2008; Does the job. What job?; A flash is a flash. Being made for Olympus cameras it can be set to narrow its cone of light in synch with the zoom on an Olympus camera, if you can figure out how to make that setting. Curiously, though, as the cone of light narrows,...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-29-2008; Difficult Flash; A very difficult flash to put on. The Power button does not always respond. The first flash returned as faulty. The second one almost was returned, but Olympus helped me out. The representative also had a difficult time putting it on....; read full review | report as inappropriate

0/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-27-2007; Nice for amateurs; I have a FL-36 for a year now, and I've used it with my old C5050 as well as with the new Evolt 510. I've never used any plain batteries as they don't last long enough - I use NIMH rechargeables instead and they perform OK. When the...; read full review | report as inappropriate
