  FL-40 Flash with LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer

If you have any interest in the E-10 at all, you must be thinking about the FL-40 flash too. If not, you should be. The TTL flash metering with the FL-40 is excellent - not only in program mode, but with manual settings too. Here is just a small sample.

Each of the photos below were taken using the LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer. This very handy little tool gives soft light at close range. It's a mainstay for many wedding photographers. The shots below were taken at 3 - 5 feet, the camera was set to ISO 80, full resolution, HQ mode. The shutter speed and aperture were manually set - see the caption for each image. The flash exposure was TTL automatic. The little built-in flash was not used. The pictures speak for themselves. Sort of like, "pick an f-stop, any f-stop, and the TTL exposure will be right on the money."
