Olympus FL-36 Electronic Flash for SP series, C7070, E1, E300 & E500 Cameras

Wow! What a difference this flash has made for my picture taking! I checked all over and I found that Amazon.com's price was actually very good and with the free shipping I got it made it all worth while. I immeadiatly noticed how much better my pictures are using this flash. I can even distinguish the colors on the walls of my house! If you have an Olympus Evolt 500 like I do, don't bother with the built in flash, get yourself one of these!

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. The Power button has to be touched in a very special way.

Not recommended for this reason.

I used this flash for the first time for a wedding I was attending, it commuicated well with my Olympus E-410. It took a few seconds between each shot for the recharge to be ready but that was to be expected. I'm sure the more I use it the better I will get with it. I found nothing negative on this product.

I found myself on stage and being responsible for this flash working on each cadet as they approached the stage to receive various awards for their accomplishments over the past year of ROTC activities at Hagerty
High School Yes,it worked fine and made my job easier,my only remark is
that I dont know how I shot 5000 pictures in 2006-7 with the small flash built into the camera and not really offering enough light to properly
flood the area.It really makes my confidence shoot up now and for the future.I am a retired Military man and 76 years old and all my pictures are placed on disc and donated to the cadets.This is my way of paying back and also my hobby.It also makes me feel good to be able to look back over the past three years at the School and say I have never taken a penny for my services and never will.Thank you for allowing me to run
my mouth and speak for the flash.
