My equipment: OLYMPUS devices: E3, original lenses, flash FL 50 R. Blitzkabel makes very good impression. Cable routing of camera forward is impractical. Cable length better than original cable FL-CB05. Sorry, no reliable connection between the camera and flash. No precise flash control possible. Despite the enormous price difference to the original cable, this cable is not an option for OLYMPUS cable, which offers excellent performance in continuous operation. My recommendation: rather stay with the original products!
