Heads up for Olympus users

[Troporobo]

Inspired by the recent thread on essential spares, I went looking for a new Olympus FL-LM3 flash since I have had two failures in the past and I am now located a long way from any supplier. I found that it is discontinued, as is the FL-LM2 used by other model cameras, and not available from any of the usual online retailers.  I was able to find units on Amazon Japan and Amazon Global UK that could be shipped, so that is solved for now.  If you are an Olympus user without a spare, it would be well worth considering picking one up sooner rather than later. Maybe physical stores have a few units laying around, if any are close to you.  Otherwise, it will eventually be necessary to upgrade to an electronic trigger.

Uppppsss thanks for informing. Another option is to use the Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger (#26306), but it's $300, very very expensive.
