5 out of 5 stars Evolt FL-50 Flash   December 3, 2007

This is a great flash for the Evolt 500. It enabled me to take clear, bright photos even in the dark. I purchased a diffuser for it and made it even more versatile. Highly recommend this product.

A little top heavy with the Olympus E-510 considering its height and 4 AA cells, but has a decent recycle rate and plenty of power for ceiling bounce. The red-dot auto-focus aids help eliminate lens focus hunting in low light, and produces nice, natural looking images without that burned out "flash photo" look. Just wish it could run fully auto on the end of the FL-CB05 flash extension cable to allow full auto TTL with a generic flash bracket.


5 out of 5 stars Great dedicated flash   October 13, 2007

This has been as useful as any other dedicated flash I have used, and more. I especially like the easy way you can adjust the flash output. I will be using this for years. Great product!

I was wavering in deciding whether to purchase the smaller FL-36 or the FL-50, but after reading many reviews of satisfied customers for both flashes, I went with the FL-50 because of its longer range, more powerful and the refresh rate between flashes. Even with fresh rechargeable batteries, there can still be a few seconds of lag time between shots and a shot can be missed. So, I am glad I purchased the FL-50, because I think I would have been disappointed with the longer refresh rate on the FL-36. The FL-50 is a larger flash unit than the FL-36 but it pairs up nicely on my Olympus E-500 with or without the flash bracket. The FL-50 makes a great strobe light on a lightstand with an umbrella, too, for a small portable lighting set-up. Highly recommend this flash for its TTL flash ability, high quality fit and finish, and flawless operation. There is a small learning curve for newbies, so don't be intimidated when reading the manual. It is so powerful in small settings, that I definitely have to use a diffuser so as not to create shadows. Found a YOU TUBE example of how to make your own diffuser out of soft white foam paper you get at craft stores and it works great for less than a dollar to make yourself.

I bought the Olympus FL-50 flash to use on my Panasonic FZ-50 camera. The Olympus flash looks and works exactly like the more expensive Panasonic version. So far, I have been extremely happy with this purchase.
