Hi David,

I have done indoor portrait works with the T32/OM-4 or OM2n combinations.
I guess your question whether T32 (I don't have T45) is powerfull enough
depends how you use it.  I usually do the followings:

 o Use Fuji NPH(ISO400) or NPS(ISO160) depending on the lighting
   sitiuations;ie, diffused light from window, lighting set-up used
   in the room, etc.  
 o Do not use any studio type set-ups such as back drops or
   or lighting set-ups.
 o Try to find 'dull' colored back ground such as fire place,
   stained book shelf or plain wall. 
 o Almost always use the Bounce Grip2 for faster recyles.
 o If the room has relatively low ceiling I tilt the flash
   to the ceiling without the diffuser(wide adapter).
 o Always use diffuser except bouncing the flash to the ceiling.
