Another of my endless supply of questions for the experts on the List...
what is a reasonable limitation on the load that a Shoe 4 can support on an
OM-2n? Since apparently cracking of the Shoe 4 is commonplace, I have been
trying to treat same gently on my new (to me) OM-2n; it came with two, both
slightly cracked but functional. I get that sense that the shoe can easily
handle the load imposed by a T20 (with a little care), but even the T32
seems almost too massive, and other units such as the Vivitar 4600, 5200
and 5600 are much too heavy and (because they are tall) capable of too much
torque on the shoe. I've a couple of Sunpak dedicated to the Olympus that
seem lighter, but I could really use some guidance/suggestions. I do have a
BG2, but I believe I need some special cords to maintain ttl flash exposure
with it, and then only with the T20 or T32..... As always, any comments
will be appreciated!
I suppose I should have similar concerns for the shoes on my OM-2s, OM-PC
and OM-4T, but they seem so much more substantial... of course, if I bend
one of them, I'm in for big time pain!
