yeah, there are larger, more powerful ring flashes for use with high 
power studio systems. They are expensive, not surprisingly.

Yeah, the olympus ring flash would be fine for head and shoulders 
closeups with a medium tele. The limited guide number for these is what 
makes them unsuitable for big time studio work. The large reflector 
would give a nice soft light that would be pleasing for most subjects. 

Be seeing you.
