Hi, James
There is a number of flashes of other brands, that work fine and TTl with OM
cameras.
I have for instance a Soligor flash that is multi-dedicated to a number of
camara brands.
An advantage of such a flash can be that it is taller than the T32 and thus
less prone to red eyes.
The T32 covers a wider angle than most flashes, though, and is therefore
better with wide angle lenses. The T32 covers a 24 mm lens, I think, (21 mm
with the diffuser), while most others only cover a 35 mm lens.
If you can find a reasonably priced flash of another brand with TTL for OM
and a tilt head, that would be a good choice, I think.
BTW, I have used Lumiquest reflectors for years for bounce flash. They are
great - but not cheap.
Regards, Lars

Emne: [OM] T32 vs non OEM flash
Hi,
New to this list, I am awaiting arrival of an OM2n. I want to get a
flash unit for it, but can't work out the pros and cons of OEM over
third party. It will mainly be used for family type shots. Bounce and
fill in is a must. What I'm wondering is:
- whether it is really advantageous to be able to bounce in two
plains, which would rule out the T32. Presumably using the camera in
portrait format could be problematic? (I don't really want to go to the
lengths (and bulk) of using a bounce grip.
- whether you get any less performance (eg in TTL metering) from going
for the likes of a Sunpak?
Any thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm thinking of
going for the T32 as if it doesn't suit my needs then at least I will
be able to sell it for about what I paid in the first place.
James
