imagesbylonda Posted May 20, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted May 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Can anyone help??? I'm very interested in purchasing the V-Lux 1, but I'd like to also purchase an external TTL flash. I've been SEARCHING the internet, the Leica website, the VLux1 manual (downloaded), and I cannot find any recommended flashes. Then I found your forum. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently a Nikon D-SLR user, thinking about migrating over. Thanks! Londa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letsrock Posted May 20, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted May 20, 2007 Oly's F36 and F50 are you best options in terms of price and perfromance. Â I am currently use the F50 and am very happy with the performance and results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Posted May 20, 2007 Share #6  Posted May 20, 2007 sorry to crap on this thread but am i correct in thinking that all Oly e- system flashes will work with the V-lux ?  digital E yes if you are in doubt consult this table  Photo Strobe Trigger Voltages  you can use appropriate AUTO flash too, but of course you wont get TTL they will be dumb units and you have to adjust iso/aperture etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommycrown Posted May 20, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted May 20, 2007 As an owner of Panny FZ50(Leica Vlux 1), I was little disappointed in FL35~ Â But, I heard FL50 is so much better in recycling time.

tiefi676 Posted May 21, 2007 Share #16 Â Posted May 21, 2007 i think that requires the appropriate SCA adapteram I right ? Â For some flashlights from metz a sca adapter is required. The 44 AF-4 O needs this adapter not. It is espcially made for olypums e-system. Thus it works well with the leica v-lux 1, too. I use this combination by myself.
