Hi

Has anyone tried to use regular flash with C3030? The Olympus original flash is so expensive....

I know that some x- flash cables for C3030 exist, but I haven't seen them. Can anyone send me pics of connectors or hot shoes of that cable.....

Hi

several solutions to use a standard flash are described here: http://www.cliffshade.com/dpfwiw/c-2000z/flash/

Metz, too, has now developed a flash that is triggerd by the second flash of the digital Oly.

I am currently looking for an external "slave" - switch (like that from Hama) that triggers on the second flash. Maybe someone has already developed something like that.

Otherwise one would have to build a relay between that slave-switch and the flash that is switched on by the first flash and keeps being switched on for a few seconds.
