mounted on a DMC-FZ150 and exposures are all over the place from washed out to pitch dark. My 20 year old Canon dedicated does a better job on the camera.

Comments about Polaroid PL-108AF Shoe Mount Flash for Olympus & Panasonic:
Great little device, does the job it's built to do. I use it more for close up photography. For me the only thing lacking is it's inabillity to twist to right or left, but not a big deal.

Comments about Polaroid PL-108AF Shoe Mount Flash for Olympus & Panasonic:
This could possibly be a rebadged Vivitar DF-183. Which inturn is a rebadged something else. I purchased this flash to use on my daughters E-520 after it was dropped and the internal flash stopped work. I was pleasantly suspired when using this flash. It WORKS and works well. As to underpowered and flimsy its not to badly built the tilt head is a bit loose but its ok . What do you expect for [$]. Its simple you mount it and it works far better than the internal flash and you have a bounce option. The single control on the flash is a boon as its NO or OFF no control's, you use the in camera controls. It's worth it just to use as a focus assist beam. I am impressed. The hight also allows you to clear the bigger lenses on the E-XXX cameras.
