Rand,
Thank you for your input. I'm seeing more value in a BG2 now. In fact,
I'm now looking for a reasonably priced T32 and BG2. Regarding the Vivitar
you slave in the back of the scene. Is it aimed at the rear wall or
straight up ? How is it fired from the Olympus with the two T32s ? Is it's
light emission also weighed by the TTL camera system ? You information is
helpful as I'm trying to learn similar approaches with two flashes. Thanks.
Chip
