Yeah, that's right, I mean the 4600.  One went on eBay
a few days ago for $22 USD or so with an Oly dedicated
module.  That seems like a really good price!  If I
recall correctly, the T-32 covers 24mm, is the 4600
that powerful at its widest setting?

Marten,
It's widest setting covers something wider than 35mm, but I don't know if it is as wide as the T32. In TTL mode I would usually put the zoom head at 35mm when shooting a 50mm lens just to make sure of the coverage. GN at 100 ASA with zoom head at 35mm is at least 100/ft and 30/m. There is a little panel one must use with the zoom head when trying to cover superwide lenses, I'm sure with some sort of GN penalty.

Yup, $22 for the 4600 with dedicated module is excellent.
