Check out the bar ahead of time if possible, and in the same or similar 
lighting.  Take the 7070 and take a few shots with and without flash, 
get used to how things work in that setting.  If you have a short, i.e. 
12-shot or soe roll of the 400 print film you plan to use, take those 
two and make some test shots with the OM-4T.  Others can comment on 
which flash to take for the OM, as I don't have any Oly flashes (I'm a 
sinner) but my guess from previous discussions would be the T32.
