Interesting. That was going to be my next question: Since this
accessory connects to the hot shoe, it should be usable with any
of the OM-* cameras; but what other parameters (shutter and
aperture combination) should one set with the flash cubes? I
don't recall any guide numbers being published with the flash
cubes (or any mention of flash cubes in the OM-1 manual either).
Anybody else have experience with such a contraption?
