Dedicated & Versatile Flash For EM-1

<p>I have just ordered an EM-1 body, having used my OM T series flash units in manual mode very successfully with my E-P2 (having to remove the VF-2 to do so). I will continue to do this with the EM-1 but want to consider off-camera options for flash fully functional TTL for macro.<br>

I don't find the Olympus website very informative. I am look for e.g. the equivalent of the T28 twin macro unit, with variable power and wireless control. In other words, using flash on the hotshoe is not the best option. ((I run a cable from the hot shoe for my T units).<br>

I hope my request for a brochure will be fruitfull but they couldn't even supply one for the EM-1 when it was on sale!</p>

<p>I found this:<br>

Any macro user comments would be welcome.</p>

 

<p>Olympus makes the SRF-11, but it isn't cheap. Your other Olympus option would be the FL-600R with a ring flash adapter that redirects the light, or a flash cord to move the flash off-camera. Many people have also reported success with the Metz 15 MS-1.</p>
