: You can stick the F-280 on a T-20 shoe and will act just like a T flash , this
: is just how it works if you mount the F-280 on an OLY body with only a three
pin
: hotshoe, (aka NOTt the 4t or OM-77) so you could use the F-280 in combination
: with the multiconnector and multiple T-series or other Olympus TTL compatible
: flashes.

This is indeed what you would expect; unfortunately the electronics of the F-280
are not designed for multi flash. If you try to combine it in Normal TTL Mode
with either another F-280 (using the T20 TTL Auto Connector) or a T series
flash, the electronics will go crazy and the flash ok LED will never blink. I
have tried it. Still waiting for an F-450 that fixes this, and other, mistakes
in design...
