Customer Review: Olympus FL-20 Flas Review
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this flash originally to use with my Olympus C-700 UZ camera because I had found that when using the Olympus wide-angle converter lens on my camera, the diameter of the wide-angle lens was so large that it blocked off the beam from the cameras built in flash. Because of this every shot I took had a big black half circle shadow across the bottom of the frame.

To eliminate this problem and mount the light source as far away as possible from the lens I decided to buy the Olympus FL-20 Flash unit, the FL-BK01 right angle flash bracket, and the FLCB01 TTL sync cable to electrically connect the flash to the camera.

Once I started using this set up I immediately started getting the results I needed right away. The FL-20 flash had greater output and greater coverage than the built in flash. Exposures were perfect because the flash worked with the cameras TTL metering system via the FLCB01 cable. You can even stand a little further back from the subject when shooting because the higher light output of this unit gives you greater reach. Red eye was also eliminated because by using the flash grip I offset the axis of the flash beam away from the axis of the camera lens. The FL-20 even comes with a little snap on diffuser lens you can use to widen the area of coverage of the flash beam. It runs on 2 AA batteries. I used the flash with the rechargeable type AA batteries.

I was very happy I bought this unit and on my indoor picture taking sessions it became the standard fare for me as far as equipment was concerned. Down the road I did up grade to the more powerful FL-50 flash, but for most over your average family and friends type picture taking sessions the Olympus FL-20 is all the flash you will ever need.
