I'll defer to Tim on the electronics side but I agree that it should
work just fine. My only caution is to remind you that the T-20 auto
connector doesn't have a hot shoe foot on the bottom. If you're going
to put it on a bracket the bracket must have a 1/4-20 screw ala tripod.
The Stroboframe flip flash 350 (and probably other models as well)
would work since it has provision for that. But maybe you're ahead of
me on that. I have no idea what "Xpol" means.
I could also sell you a Sunpak 522 with OT-5 remote sensor module for
TTL on OM's. I have two 522's and I don't use the OT-5. The 522 is a
potato masher type flash with its own bracket. It will give you swivel
and bounce and more power than the 422. It takes 6 AA's and 6 high
power NiMH batteries can power it for a long time. The 522 has its own
built-in normal auto mode sensor but the OT-5 can also serve as a normal
auto mode (non-TTL) remote sensor for non-OM cameras. I'd have to
search a bit but I think I also have the 5 foot extension cord for the
OT-5 somwhere. The 422 and 522's are good flashes for digital use as
well as on the OM's. Their built-in sensors for normal auto mode don't
move with the bounce/swivel of the head like the T-32 and the normal
auto mode is fairly accurate. With a digital camera you can simply do a
little tweaking if the exposure isn't spot on.
