On another post, Ryan from ReefPhoto suggests that combo for use with TTL flash. You can also use ttl for less money with the Oly case and Oly flash, but I don't think you can go too wrong with the set-up you're looking at.

ok thank you Larry C also what is a TTL flash

 

[Larry C]

ttl flash adjusts itself for the light conditions and the setting of the camera giving a stronger or weaker flash as necessary, based on a signal through the camera's hot shoe. Since the SP-350 has a hotshoe for a remote flash, and is programmed for ttl, you can use a ttl flash system with it. Apparently, Olympus uses a proprietary system that doesn't work with most flashes. Oly makes their own flash and Ikelite has a ttl adaptor for Oly available with their housings. There is also a fellow in Germany who makes an adaptor to use Oly ttl with other brands of strobes.
(ttl stands for transistor-transistor logic)
