At risk of brain damage, I read this, after reentering the world of internet
access.
Dr. No-Flash is happy he need not fully understand it.
In a week, you may try an OM-1 Mk II. 🙂

Dr. Flash would have reminded me that TTL metering for focus bracketing is not the way to go due to potential inconsistencies of the metering. The manual for the R2
Nano is very vague but has a feature called "TCM" which is TTL convert to manual. The switch to turn it on is a bit buried in teh menu and the MF-12 macro flashes
are not listed as an option. I turned it on and chose a low powered flash and then had to set the cam to non zero recharge time---0.1 sec. I took the TTL shot and
turned the nano to manual and Voilà the metering was OK. I then turned on the focus bracket and it worked OK. It is a bit slow (on the cusp of too slow
to use) and I wonder if would be better on the OM-1 Mk2. Another option is to do the same TTL metering, convert to manual and use the sequential shutter with all mechanical
at 5 fps. The bracket would be by moving the cam but max sync speed would go from 1/100 for the e-shutter used by focus bracket to 1/250. I could find no real
directions for this or tutorials that instructed on the MF-12 in this age YouTube for everything. Of course, an off axis high quality LED would be simpler. Never
stopped me. ;-)
Flashing away, Mike
