I essentially agree with George, unless you have or want to use a Bounce
Grip 2. The F280 won't fit on it unless you use the Flash Extender. But,
angle of coverage is the same, guide #'s essentially so. The higher aspect
of the F280 gives it the advantage in my book. No bounce, but...just don't
drop it ;>) !

I have a T32. Can anyone provide a comparison of the
two? I'm trying to decide which to keep and which to
sell. The T32 has worked well, except for the occasional
red-eye. Not sure of its guide number, but I suspect that
it is higher than the F280. >>
As a user of both, I'd recommend if you can't keep both, keep the
F280.(and there are others here who will say I'm nuts). The T-32's guide
number is 32 (meters) and the F280 is 28! The F280 should be much better in
avoiding red eye because of its height. Plus, the F280 gives you flash
synch
at all speeds, (with the OM-4Ti) in the Super FP mode, very nice for outdoor
daylight fill-flash. And in regular flash mode, it'll work fine with all OM
bodies. I'd say use the F280, put it thru its paces, then decide.
