This flash looks like it's brand spankin' NEW. I inserted batteries and fired it up. BINGO! My Olympus OM-1 has a flash. Not that I am going to take this out into the field anytime soon, but if I own a collector's piece, I want everything about it to work. I couldn't have asked for more.

The Olympus T20 flash came with a removable Control Panel on the back of the unit which allows for manual settings of the flash output with cameras such as the OM1, OR, it can be flipped over for "full automatic control by OM2" and certain other OM cameras. This flash unit dd not include the Control Panel. I cannot reconstruct the full original listing,but I am quite sure that it did not show that this panel was missing. Otherwise the flash IS very clean and appears to function as designed. I had a previous T20 that was damaged by leaking batteries. I hope that it is in a box of damaged OM equipment in my attic and will provide this missing part. I doubt if anyone families with the OM SLR system would consider a T20 to be complete without this control panel. The price was fair for a complete unit.Read full review

Great product, works amazing with my OM10. Feels like brand new, very thankful for the case that came with it so I can keep up its condition.

I didn't get the flash for an old film camera, I purchace the T-20's to use as a slave flash. I can't say much about the T20 flash that hasn't been said before so I'll just tell you how it worked out. I have been using aftermarket slave flashes because of the cost of the digital/modern Olympus flashes. I can get the Olympus T-20's at a very reasonable cost so I decided to give them a try. I will be replacing all of my other non-Olympus slave flash units with these. I have several FL-50R and FL-36 flash units. The "R" is a remote flash that relys on seeing the flash off the camera. but I use a radio transmitter flash for my shots as I can't rely on the "line of sight" or up front placement a flash the FL-50R's require. I have found that a flash on the camera sometimes just can't give me the effect I need so using the T20 flash on my slave units has worked out as good as a more expensive alternative and I still get the Olympus dependability and highest quality available in a flash. I might add that the cost also lets me place a flash where I wouldn't risk an expensive unit. Some of the shots I have used T-20's on were different floors in abandoned buildings to illuminate the inside for my shot, a caving shoot, light up select trees in a night forest shot, backlighting flowers and people. All have come out much better than the $75-$100 aftermarket alternative. I reccomend trying one of these on your camera and slave unit. The cost is minimal for an Olympus flash, and you won't be disapointed with the result.Read full review
While it was designed to work seamlessly with the Olympus OM-2, this little flash can work automatically or manually with any brand of camera. It is powerful enough with a guide number of 20 (ISO 100, meters) or 66 (ISO 100, feet).
