Dunno the 2000, but the 77 and 88 do support T-flashes (both have TTL-OTF
flash exposure). The vertical shutter allows a 1/125 synchro x time and the
77 allows super FP mode too with a double GN than the 0M-4T. ASFAIK none of
the majors permit compatibility of screens, winders etc. from MF to AF
models (that is: N, C, M, P, Y, etc.).
As for rugged, once I drop an 88 (while I was holding two oms plus three
zuikos on two hands only, and shooting on the same time) and I have to say
that the body didn't say "ah". A classic 0M-1 or 0M-2 body would have
resulted "bumped" more or less, with the same test (that I will not try).
