Re: [OM] T 20 flash

===I finally picked up a T 20 flash to use with my OM2n. I would appreciate
any tips for using outdoors for fill flash.
Thanks

The manual/guide # system is still the best. 
Check the instruction book if you have one.
I did have some luck with setting the f stop to
get a 1/60 shutter speed and then closing down 1 stop.
This gets you a 1/30 ambient light exposure.
Then on full auto the flash exposes for the given f stop 
and shuts down at 1/60.
Your background is now 1 stop underexposed.
On a very overcast day this works especially well.
I find that guide numbers are slightly over rated for outdoors 
anyway so the balance is about 1:1.
I do have a shot using this method that I use for my portfolio 
and have won some mention in photo contests with it.
