I liked the F280 so much for daylight fill that I sold my OM-4 and bought
an OM-4Ti. The flexibility of filling the shadows on a sunny day isn't
easily accomplished with any other OM solution. I only wish that you
could dial in the ratios that you wanted like the mid-late 90's Nikon,
Canon, Minolta, etc. cameras. It's stuff like that where we miss out when
Olympus stopped OM body development in the late 80's.
But with the F280, I don't have to worry that I'm going to let in too much
light because I'm hampered by 1/60 synch spped. I don't have to think
about ratios, etc. If I want less flash light (which isn't often), I just
stick the 21mm adapter on the flash, which cuts a little.

Subject: [OM] fill flash envy
Ah, maybe now I understand what y'all are looking for - fill flash at
ALL speeds like the OM-3Ti? The F280 probably is not the same as a
higher sync speed as its GN drops to 14, but we all have to make
choices. I need to give the taped contact a try, but normally I can do
a quick calculation to satisfy me when doing manual shutter speeds.
As with everything, the proof is in the product, so if you have any
examples that show the need for a higher sync speed, it would help me
understand the subject.
Thanks!
Bob
