Strobe for 5050?

[sdwho]

I killed my 5050 a year ago and after trying out various other cameras I decided simply to buy a new 5050 on ebay. But I never got around to getting a strobe for my 5050 (I have the Oly housing).

What strobe(s) do folks recommend for use with the 5050.

Thanks

I used the Inon strobes with my Oly 5050 and Oly housing and loved it

Prepair for sticker shock- Inons. They work well and are small in size. Whatever you choose, it must have a fiber optic connection, the Oly housing will not support an electrical one.

Thanks for the tips.

I've done a bit more research and the two strobes i see mentioned most often seem to be the Inon D180 and the S&S YS-90.

These strobes seem a bit hard to find. But I can find other strobes, like the S&S YS-27DX, the S&S YS-250, S&S YS110 , or the Inon Z240.

Would any/all of these work as well with the 5050? Any personal experiences or preferences out there?

Thanks again

I shot my 5050 with Ikelite DS-125s and EV controllers. Got great results. The camera/housing are long gone, but I'm still using the DS-125s with my Oly E-330.

The 240 works. I love my Inons
