I had in mind the other brands, but if you have a hot shoe (NB shoe not
foot) with a sync cable connection, that would allow you to use TPC via the
sync socket on an OM-1 (put TPC in the shoe, connect the sync cable to
OM-1). If you need an idea of what I mean, go to www.bhphotovideo.com and
search for SF941 (at a price of USD9.95).

Piers,
No, not a red herring, I would much rather stick with the Olympus equipment,
if I can ever find one I can afford. Are you saying the T8/T10 can be used
with a sync cord instead of the TPC? Or are you refering to the other
brands?
