Comments about Metz mecablitz 24AF-1 Digital Flash for Olympus / Panasonic / Leica Camera:
I bought this flash for my E-PM1, but I also use it on my LX-5 and FZ-150. It's great for fill flash, and I almost always use the bounce feature. I especially like that the flash locks into the hot shoe.

Provides OK flash lighting; better than on-board flash but the flash bounce/tilt is flimsy feeling.

Mecablitz is the best! I have a Panasonic GF-1 and with this thing snapped in the hotshoe it's like its part of the camera. Extremely well integrated perfect exposure nice bounce well worth the money.

The flash works extremely well and recycles quickly. It provides good illumination and takes all of the guess work out of using the Panasonic system.

Comments about Metz mecablitz 24AF-1 Digital Flash for Olympus / Panasonic / Leica Camera:
Great little flash. Balances perfectly with E-PL2 camera. I used to have FL-36R flash but it was way too bulky and didn't balance well with E-PL2. Metz 24 is powerful enough for most casual uses. It's very simple TTL only flash which also works great as fill in flash for portraits in the sun. It can bounce as it head can swivel upwards. The exposure is spot on. Perfect with Panny 20mm pancake.

Comments about Metz mecablitz 24AF-1 Digital Flash for Olympus / Panasonic / Leica Camera:
I also own a Metz 48 for my Olympus E-3, but was too bulky with my Olympus E-P1. The Metz 24 balance great with the E-P1. The built quality is OK, not great. I just set up my camera at EV +1 and bounce it. The only cons is that only works as TTL, but for the price, what can you expect?
