I find I need both hands on the camera not least of all because I like back button focus.

Robin holds the camera in one hand and the flash plus diffuser, in the other. I had to mount the flash on camera because I found it very difficult to take flash photos of the quality taken by for example, Robin Wong. Until recently, I made a lot of use of a Yongnuo 560 IV flash gun (cheap!) with a really big 3D printed diffuser. I moved from Nikon to Micro 4/3rds in order to get a camera I could lug around all day in the field, lying down, squatting, and climbing over gates and fences. Diffusers are essential to avoid specular highlights in images taken with a flash. I have a variety of speed-lights with various diy diffusers. I spend most of my time in macro photography.

With a Guide Number of only 9, it isn’t the most powerful flash but it is as versatile as any, and also the lightest and smallest TTL commander flash available – a lot smaller, and a lot lighter! Plus, it’s a real bargain – about £60 if you have to buy it as a separate piece of kit but it came free with my Olympus EM1 Mk2. Further, the little FL-M3 also works as a flash commander and can control off camera flashes by radio. Some neat engineering allowed the flash head to be rotated and inclined just like those found on much larger units, enabling bounce flash and much greater control over illumination. It enabled Olympus to move away from the pop-up flash found on many cameras and instead to provide a very small but versatile flash gun that could be mounted on the hot-shoe and because the flash is powered by the camera’s internal battery, the flash could be made very small. I don’t know who it was at Olympus who thought of it but the addition of a fourth contact on the hot-shoe of Olympus cameras that could carry power to the flash was a brilliant idea. I will only repeat here a few of the reasons he gives for the flash being so clever because what I really want to do is to point out that with a suitable extension cord, it can be used off camera. One of my favourite photographers, Robin Wong, has made an excellent YouTube video about this flash (see ). The little Olympus FL-LM3 flash gun is a work of genius.
