My first flash and probably my last

What can I say, this flash is awesome!!! I am not a professional photographer but was getting tired of constantly being one of many parents running back and forth from the stage to take pictures at my childrens events. The built in flashes really don't provide enough for more than maybe 10 feet...

I'm using it with E-510 & Canon G9

This flash is a great choice for indoor photography and also nice for macro. In the past I used the built-in flash which is making dark shadow behind any subject. But using the 50R with the diffuser or reflector is really awesome. No more shadow, balanced lighting and clearer photo. For me, the...

very good

I use the flash with my Olympus E3 and it is very fast to recycle. It is ready when I'm and the build quality is great.

Olympus FL-50 Flash Review

There is an old saying in photography, which goes something like this: "What really determines the quality of a photo is the lighting and not so much the camera that you are using" I find this to be emphatically true. So to have good lighting I needed a powerful flash. The Olympus FL-50 is one of...

FL-50R

This is my second FL-50R. I also own one FL-50 and one FL-36. For the money, the FL-50R is my choice. With my E-3, I can now use three flashes at once. I do weddings and in the past used Quantum flashes. Now with the very easy to set up FL-50R's I can use studio type lighting for my wedding...

Need more of these!

I have 2 of these, and am about to get another. These things absolutely rock! Quick recharge especially using Calumet rechargeable AA batteries. With bounce reflectors on stands, they make a great portable 3-point lighting system. Powerful and flexible with the E-3 and E-520! I love the...

Olympus FL50R electronic flash

This flash was exactly what I was looking for. I own an Olympus E3 camera and this flash works flawlessly with this camera.

Olympus FL-50R Wireless Flash

I now own three of these and recently used them along with Gary Fong Lightspheres to create an instant Pet Portrait Studio. The results were fantastic. I shoot with the Olympus E3, but I understand the new E520 also can control the wireless FL-50R. You might want to invest in light stands....

Future proof version of the FL50

Update 12/2008When the "50R" was introduced with the E3 camera body, initial lack of testing and documentation led to speculation on the communications link between the camera & flash when used off the camera. The "R" led to "R"umors of a "Radio" interface because two FL-50Rs were advised as...
