Thanks Walt. The T10 is new to me too, and I've got a test roll out for
processing (but it's KR64 and it's been out for a while and will take a
while longer still). I've just finished a roll of Velvia today which had
some T10 illuminated images on it and I'll see how I did on Monday.
One thing I noticed is that with the 90/2, T10, and Velvia, f8-11 is about
the limit. I wonder whether the working distance of the 90/2 is really
appropriate for the T10. I also shot with the 50/3.5 and picked up maybe a
stop. But with an OM-2N, a 1-13 screen, a 3.5 lens, and a cross-polarizer
-- I'm not sure I'd be able even to focus.
Beautiful day today for trying though. Day lilies are busting out all
over, my daughter is making a ton of money in her first attempt at a
lemonade stand, and I discovered an excellent new local pale ale. Life is
good.

Joel,
Actually, I think its main purpose is just to kill the reflection
of the ring flash itself. I've used it when photographing jewelry
and other highly reflective objects. Sometimes it's nice with
flowers, but occasionally it leaves you with a picture almost
completely devoid of reflections or any kind of sheen that just
looks flat and dead. In some instances, it can give great color
saturation, though. I've found it to be a kind of hit and miss
proposition, and I tend to err on the side of "miss" because of
the light loss and uncertain outcome.
