I forgot to answer this part.  Yes, Dean has a Lepp bracket and that's 
what we were using.  The Lepp bracket proved to be very difficult to use 
if you want to reposition those T-32s as they're really too heavy for 
the clamps.  When he uses it with his OM-4T I think the flashes are 
always in the same position and he can count on the TTL to make any 
compensation for exposure.  He uses pieces of fine sandpaper inside the 
clamps to help grip the support rods holding the heavy T-32s.  That 
works OK if the flashes aren't moved but fiddling with the sandpaper on 
the clamps while the flashes are trying to drag everything down proved 
very difficult.  When he's home I think he has everything mounted on a 
homemade copy stand built from a big enlarger and with the post bolted 
to the wall.  His homemade bracket for the cross-polarizers is rather 
neatly done.
