TTL Autoconnector Type 3 - attaches to OM-2 in place of shoe 3
TTL Auto Connector T20 - shoe with tripod thread
TTL Auto Cord T of the appropriate length - to connect the previous 2 items
together

Have a look at:   http://www.veluwen.demon.nl/om-sif/flashphotogroup.htm

However, given the situation where you have natural window light a reflector
may be more useful.  You will not be able to assess the effect of the T20
easily, and the TTL flash control will not work properly when the flash is
only illuminating a small part of the subject (top of hair).  In fact the
T20 might be more useful in "normal auto" mode for such a setup - where most
of the light will bounce back to the flash head rather than towards the
camera.
