Sitting in the OM-1 hot shoe, the T20 is not very versatile for macro
flash, nor is any other flash IMHO. In a Stroboframe type of rig, the T20
is a wonderful macro flash, provided one's macro lens is long enough
(90-135mm).  With working distances of 1.5-3 feet (.5 - 1m) and ASA 50-100
film, you're working in the range of f16-f22.  A second T20 on a slave for
back fill is icing on the cake.

Cut GN in half as a starting point for outdoor work.
