You'll have to use the BG2 or some jury-rigged contraption. I don't think that
the BG will supply power to the F280 though. I gave up trying.

No other flash will work in Super FP mode but the F280. None of the Metz units
support the OM circuitry.
I believe that the F280 works fine in Auto mode with non OM cameras; just put
it into "normal" mode.

T32's are nice, especially on the BG2 with their quick recycle time. They will
fit a Lumidyne 80/20 or Ultrasoft if mounted on a BG2. I strongly recommend
the 80/20 for flash, as it gives much better results than a ceiling flash or
index card. I even used one with a 16mm fisheye a few weeks ago and the flash
covered the entire 180 degrees. I used to use T-32's a lot with a Quantum
Battery 1, which will run two at a time. FYi, daylight usage of this flash is
back-to-the-1970's-calculation-mode, as you can't dial in the exposure easily.
(I have a Metz 54-MZ3 with the OM TTL module that works great on my OM4t. It
has a very nice manual mode where you can dial the output from full to 1/32 in
1/3 stop increments. I used it last week very successfully with an OM4t inside
on TTL and outdoors for fill-in on a digital camera.)

The T-20 is also a nice, TTL option. They're quite cheap too.
