Please recommend Flash for 5060...

[Ecclesiasm]

Please help recommend a suitable external flash for 5060.

Read Sree's link, but would appreciate an update or any "lobangs" (good deals).

Thinking of a non-Oly, the FL-50 is too ex$$.

Thanks for your help!

If you dont need the bounce and swivel function, the fl-20 is fine otherwise the metz 44 mz2 with sca is a good choice (as rec by another cs'er)...

Yes, "buddy" asked the same question in another thread. I recommended the Metz 44 MZ2 flash. The good thing about Metz flash is that u don't need to sell away the flash too if you let go your 5060 or if u have another cam of a different brand. Just buy the appropriate adaptor. The Metz 44 MZ2 cost about $410 inclusive of the Olympus adaptor (SCA 3202). I intend to get one for myself.

Thanks, Redstorm, buddy!

Just another question, where do you intend to get it? Does it come with any other accessories?

TIA!
