Ok, you triggered me to do a flash test with the FL50 :-) I made some shots 
from 1/2 to 1/32 power, with OM 50/1.4 and 5D II, all were very accurate 
except 1/2 which was 1/3 stop over, the repeatability was also excellent, I 
consider it not bad.

I use GN for manual fill flash outdoor (non FP) during the OM age, this is 
the only way as Auto mode usually will not work.

Without a dedicated camera, the flash only works in Manual and Auto mode. 
The zoom works under these mode but no FP. I use FP with the E-1 I once 
owned but I can foresee an Olympus will go along with me sometime in the 
future.
