Simon,
I've got an F280 and three OM-4Ti's. However, I don't seem to have an OM-3Ti.
Hold onto the flash, but send me the 3Ti, and I promise to get back to you with
full details of both the similarities and the dissimilarities in the use of the
F280 as relates to the OM-4Ti and the OM-3Ti. Taking into account the
efficiency with which I work, this shouldn't take more than a year or two. And
there will be no charge for this valuable service since you are a list member
in good standing.
