The only OM flash which  used a high voltage at the shoe terminals were the
QA300/QA310 flashes  (approx. 300V).  All the others (T-20, T-32, T-45, F-280,
T-Power)  will be fine.



Mark, Is there anywhere, you are aware of, where Olympus gives this  answer.  
I want it to be true, however I hesitate to attach my T-28, F  -280 or other 
OM flashes to my e-1.  If doing so fries the innards of my  e-1 and Olympus 
has officially sanctioned its use, I'm going to send it to them  for repair 
(free), however if they didn't say it was OK I hate to risk it.   Thanks in 
advance for your answer.  Bill Barber
