It works very well. Just be sure the slave unit does not over power the
light needs in which case the camera could not control the exposure with the
T32. Use of a flash meter helps but it is not necessary. Ideally the slave
should provide less than half of the light needed. Experiment a little
before doing it for real. /jim

Hi
Yet another T32 Flash question....
I've a OM2n with a T32.
I've just bought myself a cheap, low powered studio flash - supposedly with
a GN of 36 @100asa.
In the summer we sometimes have barbecue parties that last well into the
evening, and assuming it isn't raining are normal in the garden. I was
thinking that maybe if I stuck this studio flash on a tall stand and used
the T32 on auto, (mounted on the camera with OM2n also on auto) it would
help relieve the "in-a-cave" effect that I normally get using my setup out
of doors. It has a built in slave so there'd be no problem getting it to
fire.
Has anyone tried this sort of thing? I would imagine it'd be difficult
getting the relative light outputs "in balance", but how would the auto
exposure cope with this ?
