Customer Review: Great addition to my photo equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
If you own an Olympus e series camera and not using a flash, then you're missing out big time. I initially wanted the FL-36R bonus pack which comes with a reflector or diffuser, rechargeable batteries, charger and cleaning kit. Unfortunately, it was out of stock at the time of purchase so I had to settle for the mini pack from Adorama. I haven't yet used the remote control part of it, but to say the least, the flash is superb. It pays to read the manual first unless you're used to one already.
Pros.
1. Good recharge times (though some complain but I'm using 2700 NiMH Rechargeable
2. TTL (through the lens) when used in P/A/S mode. You can get it in Manual mode too if you know what to do. That means, you don't have to go calibrating and calculating distances to manually entering it.
3. Works great as a fill-in flash.
4. Powerful light and fill at nights even at a distance of 7 meters
5. Swivel head that serves as a bounce flash (can also rotate sideways).
6. Got a built in diffuser, so even the one that came with it doesn't need to be used.
Can't think of any cons right now. Many claim that the FL50 and FL50R are better buys but at the cost of 2x that of the FL36R and haven't used it either, you can't go wrong on a tight budget.
Description of Olympus FL-36R Wireless Electronic Flash, - Basic Outfit - with 4 NiMH Batteries, Charger, Flashpoint Flash Diffuser
Forget dealing with cumbersome cables when wanting to get perfect lighting for your photographic subjects. Thanks to the new Olympus remote control (RC) wireless flash units FL-50R and FL-36R, cordless lighting set-ups are a convenient reality. Both are 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 or in the field by troublesome wires. Giving professionals the freedom and control they need to operate effectively in the studio or in the field, the FL-50R and FL-36R flash units enable flash photography minus the complication of cords and inconvenient set-ups. Control is possible directly from the camera without the need for cables. These units represent the ideal accompaniment to the Olympus E-3, which features a newly-developed RC Data Transfer System that transmits data optically. This significantly reduces the power consumption of the built-in flash when being used as the system commander. A wide range of flash-related settings can also be easily accessed and adjusted using the camera's LCD panel as the user interface. Moreover, flash control is available in three groups, allowing flash mode and compensation settings to be set independently for each group thus enabling ultra-precise illumination.Accessories
