It's rather sad to look at the catalogue of flash accessories that
Olympus produced for the film cameras, where you had access to just about
everything that a studio photographer would use.
. . . Where Olympus excelled was in macro flash!
Honestly, I don't think anybody else came close to the quality options
(not just one solution, but many) that Olympus had.
Right, AFAIK. I dutifully hold on to my T8, T10, Ring Cross Filter Pol, T28 Twin Macro Flash and a couple of T Power
Control 1s. Even replaced a failed flash tube in the T10, just before I stopped using it.
However, tech has moved on. Continuous, low heat, color balanced lighting is
simply easier.
The Macro things that have not been equaled are the lenses, particularly 20/2 and 38/2.8 and the Macro stand. The
bellows and focusing rails are up with the best, too. Wonderful stuff! 😁
