I don't know for sure. I haven't done extensive tests. I have two flashes 
for the OM, the smaller/weaker F280 and the Metz 54/3. For the M7, I can 
use the Metz also with a different adapter. I just tried some test shots 
with the M7 but have not finished the roll yet. I even try the strobe mode 
just for fun. See how it works.

Basically I try to avoid using flash, which is of course another main 
reason for getting the M with fast lenses.

I also got a little reflector cup for the Metz. That seems to help soften 
things up a bit on close range.
