Chris:
Thanks for the link reminder. According to the illustrations, I do have the
Shoe 3 so I can have TTL flash with my OM-2. Apparently, the third pin on the
T-20 is for the flash indicator in the viewfinder of some models (i.e.
OM-2n), which the OM-2 doesn't have. The shoe on my OM-4 does have the third
pin. I assume it has the viewfinder flash indicator. Haven't tried it yet,
but I will soon.

Chris, as I was wrapping my OM-4 to send it to you my wife asked what I was
doing. When I told her, she refused to let me send the camera. She said that
your request had ALL the signs of classic Zuikoholism deception. (i.e. Going
to ANY length to get another Olympus/Zuiko in the house.) Apparently she
knows the symptoms quite well, having lived with me for almost 26 years after
my first Olympus purchase. When I tried to explain that you were merely a
*Zuikohobbiest*, she snorted and muttered something like, "A rose by any
other name...."
Not wanting to raise undue suspicions that I was surreptiously involved in
another deal, I had to promise not to send the camera. As much as I wanted to
give you another boost on the road to sainthood, I had to face reality. I
have an Acer Scanwit and another zoom lens coming in sometime this week. A
suspicious wife is hard to placate. Since I was able to resist sending you
the OM-4, which she reasoned would be aiding and abetting a fellow
Zuikoholic, she might think that I am getting a grip on my own addiction.
Therefore, she might buy my cover story: to wit, that the Scanwit and the
zoom lens were donations to the Salvation Army which I have (following your
wonderful example) volunteered to hold and test for them until I am
COMPLETELY satisfied that there is nothing wrong with them. If she buys that
story, I'm hoping someone will donate them a new Epson 1270 soon so I can
volunteer to test it also. <G> You have truly inspired me, amigo.
Robert
