John,
I use a similar setup only with a OM2n and 2 T32's and a BG2. I use
one T32 on the camera shoe with a TTL cable to the BG2 which has the
other T32 mounted. I use this for group pictures and I use the on
camera flash tilted up for bounce lighting and the T32 on the BG2 for
direct lighting. I do it this way to eliminate any chance of "Red-Eye"
by having the direct lighting coming from the side.
The internal batteries do not have to be removed when using the BG2
with "C" cells in it.
It is possible to chain up either 8 or 9 T-series flashes up using TTL
metering on the OM2/4 cameras.
Wonderful possibilities, Yes?
