Product Description

Kit includes:
♦ 1) Olympus FL-36R Flash
♦ 2) Precision Design Flash Bounce Reflector
♦ 3) Multi-Voltage Rapid Charger with 4 NiMH Batteries
♦ 4) Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit

The FL-36R is a lightweight and compact wireless external flash. Wireless flash transmission channel settings can be controlled from the camera body, and they enable selection of flash/no flash for groups of multiple flash units. It's equipped with a 1/8 step illumination control for precision shooting, a wide-angle diffuser panel for even illumination with wide-angle lenses and a compact zoom head to accommodate lenses from wide-angle to telephoto.

This reflector can be easily fitted to almost any flash unit (using the included Velcro strips) and reflects indirect light onto the subject resulting in a three-dimensional effect, while the soft reflected light creates naturally illuminated images with minimal shadows.

Provide your camera with plenty of power with 4 ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains a Hurricane air blower, lens cleaning tissues, lens cloth, lens cleaning liquid, blower brush and cotton swabs.

This review is from: Olympus FL-36R Electronic Flash with Bounce Reflector + 4 Batteries & Charger + Accessory Kit for Olympus E-5, E-30, E-3, Evolt E-420, E-620, Pen E-PL2 Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I was impressed that the flash's lens's zoom kept in focal length sync with the kit zoom lens. Cool feature. And I was happy with the even exposure.

I thought the plasticized cardboard bounce diffuser was a little cheezy. I did not appreciate having to stick very aggressive velcro tape to the body of my new flash in order to hold the diffuser on. They don't tell you that part in the description.

Overall A good purchase!

I love the Olympus FL-36R flash. I live where the winters are long & the days are short. This flash works great to brighten things up. Very happy with purchase. I don't recommend buying the off brand flashes as you will spend much time adjusting parameters. With the Olympus it is simple just attach the flash to your hot shoe & you're ready to go. Awesome product & awesome service.

The bounce flash kit works great with my Olympus E-420. I get really professional results. In addition, kit comes with many great accessories like a bounce reflector and a battery charger with rechargeable batteries. This is a really great package at a great price.
