Just like the eSIF says, Walt, on the 3Ti page:
"...TTL "OTF" flash exposure with ... F280 was added on the OM-3Ti. This
works similar as the TTL flash on the OM-4Ti in Auto Mode, with one
important exception: since the OM-3Ti is mechanical, all shutter speeds from
1 sec. to 1/60 sec. can be selected, and you can always be sure the flash
fires and is synchronized; the OM-4(Ti) automatically switches to 1/60 sec
and does not fire the flash when available light allows shorter shutter
speeds. This means that with the OM-3Ti you have more control of the
flash/ambient light ratio: by selecting longer shutter speeds the influence
of ambient light is increased, by turning the exposure compensation dial the
influence of flash can be increased or diminished."
The description on the flashmodes page is slightly less clear as to the 3Ti
vs 4Ti.
Your line "Don't tell me I "need" an OM-3Ti too now" is beyond belief on two
fronts - that you expect any answer but THE ANSWER, and that don't already
have one. I am sure you do have one, just go check in *all* your closets.
Then go check in the neighbo(u)r's closets. NB position of the apostrophe,
I am sure you will only need to check one of them!

What!?! I seldom use my F280 and haven't tried it at all speeds, but it
seems to work with an OM-4Ti just like the eSif says: "... full
synchronisation at all focal plane shutter speeds (when used with the
OM-3Ti, OM-4Ti or OM-707)."
Am I missing something? Don't tell me I "need" an OM-3Ti too now, right
when I'm saving up for the E-next thingy. :-[
