ok, here's a shot of my LX3+flash gun taken last nite at the LX3 gathering from chinese.cari.com

That looks exactly like a DSLR! With the adapter and flash.

Just a quick question, where can I get foam to partition camera bags? Laichong fish eye lens are coming soon so want to make arrangements hehe.

Went to a local camera shop just now and got to demo a GN50 Olympus flash unit



With a flash THAT huge, you'd be holding the flash instead of the camera!

A test shot from inside the shop with the GN50 flash. I can only rotate the camera counter clockwise to take a portrait pic with the flash, else, if you hold the camera rotated clockwise, you can't even hold it properly!



the 2nd shot blinded me, and i doubt it was full power

Anybody know where to purchase Panasonic FL-220 flash in KL?

very simple, just buy those car wash sponge and cut them into your desire size.... thats how i did mine.

Now it's 20th October. Any news on the new firmware update?

have to wait till midnight i think. maybe they folowing US time lol.

I bought it for rm490.

but is it able to TTL? lol.

that price i think the Metz more worth it gua...

LOL the flash almost looks bigger then the LX-3 itself!

for LX3 do get the smaller FL-36 flash..

No it blasts at full power. I hafta use manual. The nice thing about this flash is the really compact size, just perfect for LX3/DL3 and the camera even stands on it's own nicely without falling over. It also has the ability to bounce. All other small flash cannot bounce. I didn't buy it for my compact anyway. It's what I use for my 5D MkII as a pop up flash replacement coz 5D doesnt have pop up flash 1. I'm too lazy to carry the 580EXII all the time. The 580EXII works on the LX3/DL4 too. Even more syiok, will never be short of light with that big mama. The flash oso more expensive than LX3.

Anybody can help on this?
Need to know the price as well.

Saw the FL-220 mounted on a lx-3. IMHO looks ugly cost as much or slightly less than the Olympus FL-36R with remote sensor and can swivel in more directions. Not worth the asking price

If I put on FL36, can the LX3 and the flash stand or will it tumble over due to the heavy flash?
And what about holding the camera? Is it comfortable?

I think just about any flash will make it top heavy because how light and small the LX-3 is. I tried using my dad's old ricoh flash and immediately it held like holding a brick. As mentioned before, it's easier to hold the flash rather then the camera it self haha.

What do you mean the LX3 and flash stand? You are using a tripod right? Should be ok, unless you use those cheap 3 point tripod that comes for free with most cameras.

What I meant was if I attach the flash and put the LX3 on table, can the camera still stand, or the camera will tumble because the flash is too heavy, causing the weight not balanced.

Well, my easiest advice for you would be go to a camera shop and try it for your self. Couldn't argue with that right

I plan to get FL-36R flash from US, does it come with international warranty?

y not u get locat set for around rm750?btw,panasonic dmw-fl360 around rm800
