    Perfect
    Does an excellent job with my TG7 camera. I use the microscope feature most of the time and it illuminates small insects very well.

    Needs more diffusing!
    This is a handy little product, but I’m still going to have to put some paper over the flash. It is too bright when shooting macro. Lots of reflection off of insect exoskeletons, otherwise would be perfect. Nothing some paper can’t fix though, so it’s worth the money.

    Produces macro miracles
    Any serious macro photographer knows a flash is needed for acceptable color and shutter speeds. Most also know a diffuser is needed to provide even light and to prevent hard ugly shadows. This fits the bill.As others have mentioned there are two diffusers you can use for the TG series…the LG-1 (LED) and the FD-1 (Flash or this one). The FD-1 has numerous advantages…it is much more powerful and can operate at greater distances. It is also more modern and can operate underwater unlike the LG-1. The FD-1 lastly has good coverage around the lens so also acts as a make-shit lens hood to provide decent lens protection. The only advantage the LG-1 has it can be used in stacked mode. While yes, the led will show a bit through the FD-1, it is uneven light and won’t be practical for macro…you’ll need to stick to the flash.Note, this does work great with the new TG-6.

    Between 10 and 30 cm the FD-1 as a flash diffuser will be the better choice. The two settings for the FD-1 involve …
    The LG-1 has worked well for me, and I bought the FD-1 thinking it was an improved model. It’s not. The two work differently and have different uses. The LG-1 redirects continuous light to a ring around the lens. The FD-1 is a flash diffuser that can also work with the continuous LED light. The FD-1 bounces the flash toward the lens, then forward, but doesn not surround the lens with even lighting. For extreme close ups with the microscope setting, particularly with focus stacking setting, the LG-1 gives even lighting all the way around and you can get closer to the object. Please note that the LG-1 only works with the LED. While the FD-1 can function with both LED and flash, it is optimized for flash. Between 10 and 30 cm the FD-1 as a flash diffuser will be the better choice. The two settings for the FD-1 involve moving a small blade in front of the flash for more or less diffusion. The extra diffusion may be better for the 5 to 15 cm focal range. Beyond 30 cm, you’ll need the full flash without the FD-1. Now that I have both, will I keep both? Yes, but only because the small extra value of the FD-1 exceeds the hassle of mailing it back. Should you get both? Depends on your needs, but probably not. For the closest distances, under 10cm, the LG-1 is superior; and for focus stacking, the LG-1 is almost a necessity. For flash at 15 to 30 cm, the LG-1 will block the flash and you’ll need the FD-1. The FD-1 is designed for underwater and the LG-1 is not. For 1 to 15 cm with continuous light, and I can only carry one, I’ll use the LG-1. The first three pictures used focus stacking on a penney. They represent no flash, LG-1 continuous (most even lighting), and FD-1 continuous. The next two pictures show the blade in down and up position on the FD-1. [Please note that I have not measured which lighting mode consumes battery charge quicker, but obviously your charge will not last as long if you are always using flash or LED. If you don’t have them already, it may be wiser to buy a battery charger with extra batteries as your first purchase, then pick up the LG-1 or FD-1 as your second purchase.]

    Pretty much Required for Close up Photography
    If you are using the macro feature on the TG-6 this is pretty much required otherwise you will get flash reflections off most light colored or surfaces.It also brings the flash around your subject to avoid shadows and dark areas

    This diffuser was purchased for an Olympus TG-5. It attaches very easily and securely, and provides illumination to your close-up/macro photography. It provides even coverage of the area, which is especially helpful in dim lighting conditions. This is a great accompaniment to the Olympus TG camera line and is highly recommended.
