I don't know, but I can't help being a little suspicious.
I mean, the seller is from Hong Kong, and he wouldnt be the first scammer on ebay from Hong Kong...
Also, nowhere in his auctions he mentions anything about P-TTL, E-TTL or i-TTL, or whatever olympus uses for automatic flash exposure. Same goes for the flashes he's selling for the other brands.
I would definitly advise contacting the seller about these things first, and see how (and if) he responds.

I don't understand why he says it's a flash for Olympus and the picture shows it mounted on a Canon. 
I don't know anything about Olympus cameras, but I would be VERY wary about mounting this flash on a Canon. Others know more about this, but I understand that if the discharge voltage is more than 11 volts it can damage the circuitry in the camera. The voltage is not given in the listing. |
