Strobe question for Olympus 5050

[MagnaRyder2]

I've been using the DS-50 with my 3020 in a PT-010. I do use a piece of plastic to block the internal strobe for most shots. For close-ups, I turn off the external strobe and
unblock the internal.

The plastic I used was from a discarded key-card from our local Marriott hotel. I found it
sturdy yet easily cut to shape.

I finally placed an order for a strobe. I went with the Inon D-2000W w/ fiber optic cable and the Ulcs ultralight setup. Hopefully I made the right decision. I read in other forums though that the manual is in Japanese. Does anyone know if it comes with a manual in English? I think I read somewhere that someone is working towards translating it to English?

oops ditto that.

I concur with Domino22 I have used Inon D180 (now the D2000) for the last two years and have been more than happy with it's performance and reliability.
Give the Inon some serious thought.

There currently is no English Instruction Manual for the D-2000W. One will be available in the future, I'm told.

We supply our customers w/ a quick start guide that I wrote. It is up to your dealer to give you guidance.
