Hey!
Just wanted to know if any FL-50 owners are having the same problem that I have with my flash. It seems that the batteries in my FL-50 is heating up (can barely hold them after I take them out, its that hot) after 30 - 40 continous shots in a dark hall. Set it on TTL Auto and I suspect that it is firing at its maximum capacity. I also have a problem with that black spring plate that is mounted in the hotshoe. Going to lose it one day, as it tends to fall out. Don't know what sin did I do to deserve this, but it falls out once in a while.
On another note, was planning to get a 14 - 54mm f2.8 - 3.5 Zuiko lens this week... however, having second thoughts about it. Wasn't it the kit lens for the E-1 when the E-1 was released? Got the 17.5 - 45mm kit lens with my E500 and currently using the 14 - 45mm kit lens that I swiped from the work camera at my work place (It should be fair; using my flash most of the time taking pictures for my employers). My bro asked me about why should I need another lens and my mom said that I should be happy with what I am currently using now... It's just that I feel that the 14 - 45mm lens is a bit too limiting... want something that can reach out and nail an object at a distance as well as do a kick-ass macro. After saying that, maybe I should get the 18 - 180mm or an extension tube.
Need feedback please!
