I went down today to AP and talked to Steven. He showed the original flash bracket from olympus with the TTL shoe mount. He also showed me the TTL flash cable and the olympus TTL flash for CX040z series.
I just wonder why no one thought of this. If i buy the original flash bracket with TTL shoe mount and the original olympus TTL flash cable, why can't i buy a 3rd party TTL flash to use??
Please take note that the TTL flash cable connect the Camera to the bracket's shoe. So in theory, any TTL flash should be able to use since the cable does not directly connect to the flash unit.
Anyone comment on such feasibility?
The original bracket with TTL shoe mount is about $100 and the TTL flash cable is about $110. But a third party flash only cost around $350 as compared to the original olympus TTL flash which cost $600++. So the above ideal may save us some money if we want to use TTL flash.
