Yes, no problem. There are several setups that can be used if you have
the right equipment. I'm currently shooting (freudian slip?) students
using a T32 and a T20 and a OM 4T. Both are off camera on umbrellas in
manual mode. A TTL cord is running from the socket on the front of the
camera to the T32 running on AC. The T20 is on the BG2 with AAs and Cs
and triggered by the cord on the bottom of the BG2 running to the
connector on the camera. (I need another TTL cord really :) ) It is
also possible to use the T20 on the BG2 triggered with a TTL cord
running from the connector on the T32. This set-up could be in Auto.

OK to leave them in.
