The principal problem here is OM flash with no OM body to control it. I pursued this for Mike because I truly don't understand what's going on with the auto mode. As I showed, lowering the ISO does cause the flash to increase its output. I have to do it again to convince myself but, after doing this experiment, I tried a few quick shots after increasing the ISO hoping that would reduce the flash output such as you'd want for fill flash. It was really quick so maybe I made an error but two shots with +1 and +2 stop increases in ISO appeared not to change the exposure one bit. Color me mystified. Next time I'll drag out the flash meter so I can measure the output rather than guessing at it.

If I were to read all that, I might lose more brain cells than I can
afford, so I've stashed it in the Flash file, just in case.

Just struck me, though; if I were to do macro with OM flash gear, it
would be T8, T10 or T28 Twin.

CH's opal plastic diffuser would be another elegant solution.
