Is Sigma Super Flash 500 compatible with Olympus cameras?

Question

My friend has an Olympus e410 and she wants a flash for her camera. Someone told her to get a Sigma Super Flash, but we can't find anywhere that tells if they will fit the Olympus camera. If they won't fit the camera, what is a comparable flash that will fit the Olympus e410?

Answer 1

The Olympus FL-36 (~$160), Olympus FL-50 (~$370), Metz 44 AF-4 O, Metz 58 MZ-4i O, Metz 28 AF-3, and the Olympus FL-20 are all TTL flashes that work with the E-410.

You could use just about any flash on it but it'll be crippled to manual operation only. This means you might have to do some experimenting to get the desired results. Also, keep in mind that older flashes may have trigger voltages greater than 6V. Using such a flash runs the risk of frying the camera. There are safe sync adapters available that can bring down the trigger voltage so that the flash can be safely used.
