Is there a flash without flash bulbs for the SP/SPn like the Canon GIII has its own flash?
Thanks....

The flash that Olympus sold for the 35SP was the PS200. It was manual only with a GN of 45 for ISO 100 and a GN of 90 for ISO 400. It is very pocketable, but it isn't really nothing to write home about.
The flash that I use more often is a slightly larger Vivitar 252. It's a veritable nuclear torch. With a GN of 56 at ISO 100, it gets the job done. What I like about it has a built in PC cord, and two auto ranges. Plus, it is still pocketable.
The flash unit that I have which I should be using is an interesting Vivitar 2500. It is like a miniature 283. Therefore, it is not pocketable. It does offer auto flash in three ranges in addition to a manual mode. So for instance, if I'm using ISO 400 film, I have a choice of three apertures, f/2.8, f/4 and f/8. In its manual mode, it has a GN of 80 @ ISO 100. It also has a built in diffuser, zoom, and bounce positioning, but alas it isn't pocketable.
