Suggestion for a compatible Flash for Digilux 3
Can anyone recommend a compatible flash to use for the Digilux 3? I would like something strong enough to use as a bounce and adjust per the camera setting. Is there anything that meets this camera?
Thanks for suggestions.

Re: Suggestion for a compatible Flash for Digilux 3
You have the choice of any of the current Metz models with the Olympus SCA adapter, plus either of the Olympus guns FL36 or FL50. I am currently using these and they function without any issues. Panasonic also make one but it is basically a re-badged FL36. And they have the nerve to want more money for it, at least in the UK.

karlitos, thanks for the suggestions. I see the Olympus and Panasonic flash models and they are selling the Panasonic for way more despite looking the same model. I wonder why.

I agree with karlitos. The Olympus units are of high quality and performance and I am certainly impressed with results I get especially with bounce flash.

Re: Suggestion for a compatible Flash for Digilux 3
Great. I am about to place an order of the FL-50 together with the MilaGrid BounceGrid II. I am still wondering why Panasonic has chosen to increase their FL-500 model when it looks exactly like the Olympus version. Are there any specific features built especially for our camera?

No there is no Leica version of the Olympus flashes.
 However the Oly flashes are very well done, I have the 36 and while being small it is a outstanding flash, however for more hardcore stuff go for the FL50 as it packs a bigger punch. I also have the older FL40 but it does not work on the Leica camera only on actual Olympus cameras. Bo My Leica scratch page - random thoughts , pictures and such. |

Re: Suggestion for a compatible Flash for Digilux 3
Why hasn't Leica officially patronized Panasonic's FL-360 and FL-500 flash for the DMC-L1? If it's the same camera, it obviously will take it fully as well. Hmm.
