Yes. The small flash is needed.

Thx.. So it's actually optically triggered.. I don't understand where the wireless comes from.

Well, it's not that it would need a glass fibre cable.

My FL600R just arrived from UPS delivery.

Damage = SGD$487 including shipping and GST

$487, how about a mass order to let Olympus Singapore know about it? Let them have no sales on this flash locally.

Where did you order it from?

Yup. I guess instead of lowering the price here they might just ask dealers in the US not to ship to Singapore anymore.

Price is US$299
UPS worldwide saver shipping US$42.46
Total US$341.46, which is only about SGD440

For 10 sets order, the shipping is US$101.77
Total for 10set + shipping is US$3091.77, which is about SGD$3988, so each set only about SGD$399:bigeyes:

Please count me in if anyone wants to start a Mass Order, maybe should also consider add the EP-11 eyecup as part of the Mass Order.

remember GST

And shipping cost might increase not flat rate $42

Either case, the base cost I already said $487.

let's put it this way, $487 per set, Mass Order should around $447 (base on 10set shipping cost, each set is $40 cheaper).
Price is only estimated. But one thing for sure Mass Order price is very much cheaper.

How long did u have to wait?

Damn, I already ordered exactly that package. UPS said they will deliver it this Friday (to my office).

remember GST

You don't pay any tax if it's under $500.

Price is only estimated. But one thing for sure Mass Order price is very much cheaper.

If it's over $500 you have to pay customs.

How long did u have to wait?

3-5 days.

Haha, The ICA must have updated it recently. Last time I bought a lens in the US the threshold was S$500 (winter 2011). Maybe they got a call from Olympus. Too bad, in Australia the cutoff value is AU$1000.
