But Walt, you should have annotated where the duct tape and epoxy were used, and which bits you buffed down with the dremel...

"Adapt or die," I have heard it said.  Since the OM system is all
but dead, I'm adapting it -- at least some parts of it.  I have
enhanced and expanded the use of my macro flash gear in an
unauthorized manner, one I'm sure was never contemplated by
Olympus.  Some may call it treason; others may say it's illegal,
maybe even immoral.  So sue me!

There's no TTL, but what the hell?  I've got a flash meter, so
shooting manual is a minor inconvenience, one that is far more
than offset by having sync from 1 to 1/500 sec.  And to think all
it took was one $24 Hama blitzadapter and a few minutes spent
adapting the adapter!

Time for some BIG 1:1 Velvia and Provia trannies!  :-)

Walt, not just a flash in the pan(chromatic), but color(ful) too.
