This is the first info I have seen about this flash extender since I joined
this list a couple of years ago, and very interesting info to. Although I´ve
never seen one I have often thought of it as a cheaper and lighter alternative
to PBG2 to reduce red-eye.
Are you sure that it is designed to take the extra topweight of the T32? On the
OM flashphoto group chart in my OM-2SP broschure dated 2/85 there is only a
line connecting the flash extender and the T20 flash. T32 is only "connected"
to Power Bounce Grip 2. In another broschure covering the whole OM system and
dated 9/88 the extender is indeed "connected" to every flash on the chart
(F280, T18, T32 and T20).
I think using the T32 (or the F280!) on the extender would be asking very much
of the hot shoe mount on top of the body. Even mounting a T32 directly in the
hot shoe mount with fully extended zoom adapter does make you uncomfortable for
the welfare of the mount. Interesting that the extender fits on the PBG as well
(nothing on the charts about this possibility).
