I only got the 17mm f2.8 on a black body:

AF is very fast, much faster than expected with that lens.

Wah. Love the look. How's the effect?

Hi all, I intend to get the nissin di466 flash for m43 in meantime.

But I see one bro say the bounce doesn't work with em5 while another bro say its ok.

Can anyone else confirm if bounce will work on em5?

Thanks bro, they are quite matching

 

[zapp!]

Silver body matches any black/silver lens you throw at it.

I haven't tried the Nissin model yet. But in case this helps; I've got the Tumax DPT386 AFZ, and the Metz 50 AF-1 for my E-M5. I kept getting variable results with the Tumax set to bounce, so ended up using only on manual output. The Metz works very well though, though I usually have to dial in a +0.7 exposure when used with bounce.

Agree, but to me that odd-champagne colored Oly 12mm doesn't quite seem to match either black or silver bodies.

I think it's around $140-150. I have the standard black one and at first I kind of wished I ordered the special edition but after using it I am quite glad I ordered the standard one after all.

anyone using the nissin di466 mft flash? the FL600R has priced me out and i'm looking a similar cheaper alternative. and it does look like a gd choice, any user experience?

Took the plunge and discovered mine worked with my nissin 466 with bounce as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I am still considering as the nissin flash cannot swivel and doesnt have the FP-TLL.:think:
But the price is attractive though.:thumbsup:

 

[ijnek]

consider fl36r flash too
