1 expensive but handy & reliable...
I ordered this cable to use with my olympus c-3000z camera, which has 5-pin syncro outlet. usually, most of SLR cameras and prosumer digital cameras have pc (cord) outlet. but, unfortunately, my olympus camera doesn't have it!!! (what a shame thing....! olympus!)
So there is no choice but to use this cord to use external flash.
(don't forget to buy flash bracket if you are using one of olympus 20X0, 30X0, 40X0 series cameras.)
as you know, this cable is expensive compared to pc cord. most of pc cord cables are about 5-10 dollar and they are easily found in many camera shops near your home.
this cord is coiled and tough enough to use at any conditions.
but it's not long enough to use long range off-camera flash shooting situation. so if you have a plan to use long range off-camera flash, you'd better buy "pc extension cord(female-male)."
p.s. dont forget this: this cable is only for olympus cameras and it has pc cord tip(male). if you wanna female tip, just buy FL-CB04!!
