OM SYSTEM FL-LM3 Flash

I use the Olympus flash to trigger my Olympus 900 flash unit via RC. Of course, the flash will set off an older Olympus flash as it is a light slave. The FL+LM3 and the 900 work together through the camera. Best combo ever in my very humble opinion.

The Panasonic GX-8 does not have built-in flash and this little wonder is the perfect (near-perfect) solution. It is beautifully built and has a full range of vertical AND horizontal movements (360) with precise clicks.

I'm absolutely pleased with the capabilities I've experienced using this FL-LM3 flash.

I recommend keeping a back up flash because of the issues I had with my flash. I use them primarily in a housing for underwater photos. No matter what, make sure the flash will go off BEFORE you put it in the housing.

Since I bought a new lens for my Olympus Pen E-PL5, (12-40mm Pro) the old flash 4FS1 cannot be used. I bought the Olympus FL-LM3 after reading that this flash would work on my Pen E-PL5. It doesn't.

IT WORK PERFECT WITH MY LEICA MICRO 4/3

I wanted a basic flash for the Panasonic GX8, one that was small and didn't require batteries. I hope to really learn flash photography and will then treat myself to a more advanced flash. I read somewhere that this flash would work with certain Panasonic cameras and it does with the GX8.

Can't expect much from a tiny kit flash like this, but I generally like it. However, sometimes I have to wiggle it while its secured in the hot shoe... anyone else having this issue? Other than that, I'd give it four stars, I like what it can do, especially directional.
