Don't worry, I'm not going to start the debate about the F280 again. A fellow list member asked me a few days ago about using T flashes with TTL at longer speeds than 1/60. While thinking about this problem it suddenly occured to me that the flash is controlled by the body, integrating light from the flash and the ambient light, and that another body would of course pick up the light as well. It's then obvious that one camera can be used to control flash while the other makes the "real" exposure. The flash-body don't even have to use film, as long as the pressure plate is covered with something 18 0rey. This is a rather complicated way to achieve something the OM-2 has done perfectly well for decades, but manipulating the ISO-settings of the flash-camera would be a very simple way to dial in fill-in-ratios.

OK, PLEASE tell me more. I have never used an OM-2, so are you saying that an OM-2 and a T-flash would do more than the OM-4, fill flash wise?
