The old OM flashes should work fine on the E-series but only in auto mode
(just like on an OM-1).  You won't get TTL or any of the other fancy flash
features.  For the best ease of use get one of the FL flashes. Go for an
FL-50 if you can afford it otherwise an FL-36 should do fine.  The only
difference between them is the power output.  Too bad Olympus doesn't bring
out an FL series flash similar to the T-45, it had enough output to bounce
light off of 12' ceilings!
