Ok, you triggered me to do a flash test with the FL50 :-) I made some shots
from 1/2 to 1/32 power, with OM 50/1.4 and 5D II, all were very accurate
except 1/2 which was 1/3 stop over, the repeatability was also excellent, I
consider it not bad.
I use GN for manual fill flash outdoor (non FP) during the OM age, this is
the only way as Auto mode usually will not work.

Without a dedicated camera, the flash only works in Manual and Auto mode.
The zoom works under these mode but no FP. I use FP with the E-1 I once
owned but I can foresee an Olympus will go along with me sometime in the
future.
