Forget dealing with cumbersome cables when wanting to get perfect lighting for your photographic subjects. Thanks to the Olympus remote control (RC) wireless flash unit FL-36R, cordless lighting set-ups is a convenient reality. It is ideal for use with the Olympus E-3 professional D-SLR which enables the control of up to three different flash groups directly from the camera - no separate commander unit is required. Photographers benefit from extreme flash unit versatility and never again need to be hindered in the studio on in the field by troublesome wires.

Customer Rating: Summary: I See The Light! Comment: This flash is being used on the E-500 DSLR, and a fine addition it is. After the better part of 3 years using just the pop-up flash, this unit has created an entirely new appreciation for flash photography. Holiday pictures from previously years were always "shadowy" and uneven. This years' photos are cleaner, clearer, and much more alive. Even the learning process with this flash is an enjoyable adventure. Go for it! Customer Rating: Summary: Good flash, no more, no less Comment: I've been using this flash for over a year now with my E-510. It has been good, but I'm just not happy with the refresh rate on it. I just bought the FL-50R, and it is so much better. I know it's a lot more money, but when you miss an opportunity because you're waiting for the flash to charge can be really aggravating! Save your money and get the FL-50R. I'm passing this one down to the wife to use on her OLY 570-UZ (great camera). Customer Rating: Summary: The Olympus FL-36R Flash Comment: I bought the Olympus FL-36R flash for my Olympus SP-570UZ.It was a little more than the FL-36 but it is worth the few dollars more. It takes 2 AA batteries which i like and is gives out a decent output. You can adjust the flash head to different angles for bounce light. It communicates with the camera and adjust the zoom flash head according to the zoom position that you use on the camera.It will do all sorts of TTL features that you need for a nice flash. Excellent quality and reliable performance.
RobertLZ on flickr Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent purchase Comment: I'm using Olympus FL-36R Electronic Flash on my Olympus SP-570UZ digital camera. The results are great. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for the porro mirror cameras Comment: This flash unit is very well built and practical. The head tilts 90° and swivels 180°, it is light, compact and very well built. You can get CV-R3 lithium ion batteries for it, which being a single unit is more practical than two AA batteries.
It does not charge as fast as bigger, meaner models such as the Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1, and it lacks the 58 AF-1 secondary fill-in flash lamp. But because of its compactness it is a good fit for compact cameras without remote flash capability as the E-510; for the E-420, get the wireless version FL-36R.
Lacking the secondary lamp, it is a good fit for cameras that have a built-in flash at a offset from the hot shoe so as to be useful as a secondary fill-in flash lamp, such as the E-330, Panasonic L1 or Leica Digilux 3 -- but these cameras being bigger perhaps the Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-1 might be a nice fit too.
For the E-1, E-3 or Panasonic L10, get the Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-1, or the FL-50R if you can live without the secondary lamp or if you need the wireless capabilities now -- the Metz is awaiting a firmware option to interoperate wirelessly with the Four Thirds cameras.
