TG2 + ring light...when?

My TG2 arrives tomorrow (can't wait!) but anybody know when or even if the ring light shown in this video will be available?

I don't know in terms of an Olympus branded accessory.

You could however make your own ring light with:

  • Olympus CLA-T01 conversion lens adaptor ($20 at B&H/Adorama, cheaper if you find the JJC knockoff version)
  • 40.5mm to 52mm step-up ring (~ $5)
  • Polaroid Macro LED Ring Flash (using it in always on mode), $40 at B&H.  Or any other similar macro ring flash, getting the appropriate step-up rings.

Thanks Michael!

I'm sure the set up you described would work great, it wouldn't be quite as pocketable like the one shown in the video.

yoshi - who hopes Oly will release the adapter soon...
