Wayne,
Here's what I did to use the FL-40 off camera with my E-20.
First you will need the Olympus FL-CB05 TTL Cable to connect the flash to
the camera.
I already had a Stroboframe Quick Flip flash bracket so I just used this
setup versus buying the Olympus flash bracket. I tie wrapped the cable to
the flash bracket and leave it like that in my camera case. Works great and
with the Stroboframe bracket the flash can be orientated correctly over the
camera when shooting vertical or horizontal.
I had a problem with the flash shoe end of the cable getting loose and
wobbling around with the flash attached. I removed four small screws on
the bottom side of the flash shoe,
removed the bottom of the flash shoe and tightened the screw holding the
flash shoe assembly. Added some simi-permanent LocTite in the process.
Haven't had a problem since. If you get the cable you might consider this
mod on the front end.
HTH
later,
mike m.
