As I have mentioned before, "I use a Metz slave flash, the 34 CS-2,  
and let the Olympus combo sort out the slight variation in light  
output."

It doesn't have tilt or swivel, but either I let the angle off sort  
out the problem or I use a Lastolite reflector.  The Metz will not  
trigger on the AF pre-flash, but a red-eye setting on the main flash  
will set it off prematurely -- according to the instructions anyway,  
I haven't tried it.
