The Manuals are available as .PDFs on the eSIF. I also have a T20 manual
you're welcome to borrow and copy. I don't have a 2s, but have both T32s
and a BG2 that would allow checking the camera with a different flash,
the flash with a different camera and the T20 with the 2s via the TTL
socket rather than the shoe to see if the shoe is the problem.

Well, when I went back today to the Bay Area photo show to swap the
little RD35 for the Canonet, I was walking around looking at stuff. I
came across a guy with some OM-1s and OM-2s on a table, and we got to
talking. I told him I was really mostly looking for lenses, and not
more OM-1s (as I have three already!). Mentioned that the only other
body I was looking for was am OM-2S or OM-4 series so that I would
have spot metering capability for shooting backlit race cars or
bikes. He then said, "Oh, I'm using one for my personal camera right
now!" and brought out an absolutely MINT OM2-S with a silvernose
50/1.4. "I really like it, so I'm sure yet if I want to sell it". I
mentioned that I had just returned a mint OM2-S (with a failing IC
presumably) with a nice 50mm lens that I paid $300 for, and had a lead
on an OM4 for a little more than that, so I said I wouldn't be willing
to offer any more than $300 for it. He then replied, "Okay!", I wrote
him a check and he handed me over his own camera! Works perfectly,
nice smooth action on the aperture ring and winder, and this thing is
incredibly clean, not even any strap marks or marks on the bottom from
tripod use. The only marks it has is some very minor brassing at the
bottom corners of the memo holder, which will be gone once I get out
the Tamiya semi-gloss black! :-)
Sorry, let me get to the point....I hooked up my new T20 flash tonight
to try to get take a picture of Eddie the Cat, and put it on auto, and
put the camera on Auto mode...when I depressed the shutter, the
shutter opened and stayed open for several seconds (like 8 seconds or
thereabouts), and then finally the flash went off and the shutter
closed. I am not sure what is going on....I was taking a photo indoors
at night with some room lights, but I would not have thought with a
flash that it would take several seconds to make an exposure in Auto
mode. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I don't have manuals either
for the flash or the OM-2S. I would have thought that the camera would
have known the flash was attached as the little flash LED was lit
up....but I was surprised at the long exposure, with the flash at the
end.
Confused here in Albany...
