Moose,
Thanks for your opinion. I have Power Bounce Grip 2 & T32 But I think Power
Bounce Grip 2 is too heavy. I have a 3rd party flash bracket, simply I need
a PC cord to connect PC socket of OM-1n to T32 but it seems no Oly stuffs
achieve it.
I do understand there is no TTL for OM-1n but I need a "media" (cord) to
connect OM-1n & T32 for off flash other than applied Power Bounce Grip 2.
By the way, many thanks to all & I'll consider Autoconnector 4 & Auto TTL
cord T0.6. Thank you very much.
