That is an interesting idea... I have one of those flashes but have not
used it in a while, also an old Olympus "safe synch" device which is
supposed to protect newer camera form high voltage of old flashes. the
AF360FGZ that I use has the same setting, but I don't know if that flash
at 1/16th would be powerful enough.

Just a thought, but the old Vivitar 285s used to come with fractional
manual flash settings down to 1/16th power. That would give you up to
16 flashes as fast as you could fire the shutter. The old flash is not
safe to put in the hot shoe, but you could trigger it with radio
slave. The old classic 273s had a accessory Vari-power module that let
you do something similar, I think.

    I'm trying to get my insect photos up to the next level, and it
    seems like stack focusing is part of the process to do that. I
    worked on it yesterday with mixed results - still have a lot of
    stacks to go through. But here are the first:

    All taken with Pentax K-5 and A*200 f4. No flash since I needed to
    grab a fast bunch of images to stack, and no way could the flash
    keep up.

    All of these photos got flaws but maybe on a less windy day this
    will work out. C&C appreciated.
