In the absence of a more definitive answer, assume that it won't, at
least, not completely. It certainly won't work in TTL auto mode with
an E-300 and I believe that's also true of the later cameras. Will
work fully with an E-1 though. I have no idea why this should be the
case, but it is. Will work in manual and self-metered auto modes with
just about anything that has a hot shoe.

Don't know about that one at all, sorry. I'd be very surprised if you
couldn't use manual and self-metered auto at least.
