I've noticed similar (but less useful) behaviour using two different TTL
dedicated flash units with a -2s(p). With one (non-Oly) on the shoe and
the other (T32) connected via a TTL cord to the TTL socket on the
camera, the one on the shoe fires repeatedly when I switch it on.
Does anyone know if this behaviour is normal for units connected this
way? Would it work properly with, say 2 T32s connected as described or
connected serially with TTL cords, e.g. 1 on the shoe, TTL cord between
flash units or 1 on a BG2, connected to the body by TTL cord to the BG2s
TTL socket then another TTL cord between the two flashes?
