The OM-2 will accept two shoes, and it just so happens I have one of each.
The Shoe 2, for use with the Quick Auto 310, has two contacts, one in the
center - the normal hot shoe sync contact - and one directly in front of it.
The Shoe 3, for use with the T-20 and T-32, has three contacts, the normal
hotshoe contact in the center, and two in front of it offset to each side a
bit. There's a depression where the Shoe 2's second contact is, presumably
to make sure a QA310 mounted there won't act weird.
