Need a strobe for Olympus C-5050 ASAP!

4 posts
  1. Hi! I am new to this site (which has a lot of great info!) Can someone help me with some suggestions or info on a strobe? I have an Olympus C-5050 w/PT-015 housing. I am looking for a strobe to go with it. I like taking close up pictures as well as those at a distance (go ahead and laugh at me cause I don't know the lingo for those kinds of shots!) so I would like a well rounded strobe. It's obvious I need some help, so please give me some ideas!!!!

     

    Thanks!

    Welcome to wetpixel. The above link is about me asking all those same questions. However, I currently have the FL-20 with a housing just because I got it extremely cheap $220 and it has Oly TTL. It does have limitations especially if you're looking at doing wide angle (WA) which is done with larger subjects.

  3. I recommend the Ikelite DS-50 or DS-125 with the manual or TTL optical controller. I have used both with the PT-015 and the DS-125.

  4. I tried this camera with the Inon D2000 and using it's built in auto mode (STTL it's called) I got great results.
