Im looking at the Oly fl-20 flash with UW housing, It lists the 5050 and "all future hot shoe cameras". Will it work with my 5060 and PT020 case? And if so , is it enough flash? Thanks in advance!
 
For sure it'll work with the 5060/PT-020. But from memory, those who have tried it have moved on to brighter strobes that are designed for underwater use.
If TTL is important to you then have a look at the Inon D-2000. Or maybe a Sea and Sea YS-90DX or Inon Z220 with a Matthias convertor and Mike cable (warning, in German: http://www.mike-dive.de/konverter.htm).
 
It looked a little small. I was wondering if it was worth trying...Any first hand reports out there? Thanks for your input.

I use an fl-20 in a pfl-01 housing with my 5060 all the time. Contact me off the list for detailed information.
