Great little macro flash!

Recently switched over to Olympus from Canon and needed a flash system for my macro work. This seems a bit pricey but it works like a dream. Light output is of a good quality (maybe slightly towards the blue side though). Love the flexibility in positioning the flash heads and love the small size overall. The included diffusers are a nice touch and I'll use them most of the time I imagine. The recycle time is good as well. If I a con it would be the knobs for adjusting the flash ratio can be a bit tough to turn. That's being nit picky though. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

World's First Weatherproof Macro Flash
The dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof STF-8 Twin Flash is an extremely compact, lightweight macro flash system designed for shooting in all conditions. When paired with a weatherproof OM-D body and M.Zuiko lens* lens, you'll be able to capture properly illuminated macro shots, even in the rain.

The STF-8 offers unparalleled flexibility. In addition to full TTL auto-sync, you can manually choose the output power, from full all the way down to 1/128. The flash ratio between the left and right heads is also fully adjustable, so you'll never feel limited in your ability to control highlights and shadows across your subject. The heads are even removable so you can position one to light your subject, and the other to light the background, or any other combination you choose depending on your shooting scenario.

For shots expended depth-of-field, the STF-8 is compatible with Focus

Stacking** and Focus Bracketing modes found on select OM-D models.

*Compatible with M.Zuiko Digital ED 30mm F3.5 Macro, M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm F2.8 Macro, and M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO Lenses.
