Olympus E-P1 and flash equipment
Hoping to find some credible advice here!
I'm using an Olympus E-P1 and am soon to be shooting a wedding. I've never used my camera outside of natural light, so I need some advice on lighting kit, please. Ideally I want to buy as little as necessary. I travel light and plan on using lighting for events work in the future.
Ideally recommendations for external flash and trigger compatible for my camera. And suggestions for kit!
Thanks in advance x

Do you need TTL or can you get by using manual.
Manual flash, get a Yongnuo 560 Mk2 or 3, these go for between £30 and £40 each, there cheap but good.
A TTL unit, a Metz 44 should do you, these go for around £130 and £140 each.
Triggers, the dirt cheap ones do me, there about 20 quid for a set of 4.

Manual all the way for me! I learnt by manual on an old DSLR which had horrid auto settings, and I use manual lenses too, don't really know any other way to be honest!
Yongnuo I was actually looking at earlier per chance, wasn't sure what would be suitable for randomly lighting a largish room
Thanks for the recommendation x

They have a max GN of 58, good for most things.
