Pros Nice look to it, flexible angling, rotation possibilities, pretty nice programmable...
Cons Refresh sucks, (uses two batteries!) Waffer-thin hotshoe clip cracked, Olympus won't...
Recommended it? No

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 from Olympus ever again. Read full review »
