If you don't connect all the pins, TTL won't work. I've never heard of
anyone making a DIY TTL cord.
And yes, with an OM-2n/T-20, it would be pretty expensive to get all the
doo-dads. The OM-4/4t and 3t made it much easier with their on-camera TTL
socket.

Subject: [OM] Off the camera TTL, a cheaper way?

Hi, I've been getting the digest for a while and enjoy learning new
things and read about all the hopeless Zuikoholics on this site.
I was wondering if there isn't an easier way to get off the camera TTL
auto. With my OM-2n and T-20, I'd need to get a TTL autoconnector 4,
TTL autoconnector T20, and an autocord T. Buying all three would be
quite expensive.
I just bought a simple flash extension cord for off camera use, it
basically consists of two hot shoes connected by a cord. Very much
like the Altrex Duosync Cord 'N' on Tom Scales site. My question is:
If every contact on the hot shoe is connected to the proper contact on
the flash, wouldn't this result in affordable TTL auto? Or are there
more complex issues like the impedance of the cord not being properly
matched?
Thanks,
Marten
