[OM] Flash photography

Hi,

I have an OM3 and an OM4T.  There's a chance that I can do concert photography 
for some friends in the future.  I was considering HP5 pushed to 1600/3200 for 
the OM3, and Provia 400 with a flash in the OM4T.  Probably 50/1.4, 90/2, 200/4 
for lenses.  I think I have that fairly well figured out, and it's all stuff I 
know & love.

But what I really feel an urgent need for, is to learn flash photography.  I've 
postponed this for a long time, only using my small P&S flash for people 
sometimes, but now I feel it's time to add this to my spectrum of options.  I 
would love to be able to use short shutter speed synchro, but the F280 is only 
GN28.  Particularly using full-synchro, this isn't too high.  I know that 3rd 
party vendors sell full-synchro flashes for other brands.

Is it possible to use a 3rd party flashes in full-synchro on the OM4T ?  If 
not, would it be a bad thing to not have full-synchro, except for fill-flash ?  
Any suggestions on good flashes I can get 2nd hand ?  Non-Oly flashes, though 
extreme sacriledge for which I shall punish myself by buying lots of 2nd hand 
lenses, are quite acceptable if the feature-GN over price range is higher than 
Oly-flashes.


Thanks,

Peter.
