The E-300 is really good for aquarium photography especially with the ZD 50mm Macro lens. I don't need to use high ISO settings (400) like I usually do when shooting such pics with the Canon 20D.

Yes. I was using the FL-36 in FP-TTL mode and a Lightsphere (without the half-dome) for these shots.

It is a on-flash light diffuser.
