Hello everyone,
It's been awhile since I've been on the list...I'm back.
Welcome back! Hope you will have something for the next TOPE (shooting
season is currently open).
I have an OM-2s and a T32 flash and I would like to get a stroboframe and
need to know what I need to buy to hook it up properly......sync cords or
whatever....I'm in the dark! Thanks in advance for any help.
One of two coiled cords will provide you with TTL/OTF control of the T32
from the OM-2S and provide some flexibility when turning the camera:
(a) TTL Auto Cord T 0.6m
(b) TTL Auto Shoe Cord T 0.6m
The first connects the TTL socket on the side of the T-32 to the TTL socket
on the front of the OM-2S body. The second connects the same TTL socket on
the side of the T-32 to the OM-2S hot shoe. I prefer the second one for
use with a rotating camera bracket as the first can sometimes work loose
from the camera body. This presumes you have a method for mounting the
T-32 on top of the Stroboframe (most come with a shoe for holding a
flash). AFIK both of these cords are still available new.
An alternative method using more parts is to mount a TTL Auto Connector T20
on top of the Stroboframe, mount the T-32 in it, and use one of the two
cords listed above to plug into the TTL socket on the back of it instead of
directly to the T-32. This "remote TTL hot shoe" is no longer made and in
high demand. Not rare, but when they do come up for sale they disappear
quickly. I use a pair of these to hold a pair of T-32's (or other flashes)
side by side for use in tandem (multiply a single flash GN by 1.414 for
using a pair in tandem)
