Orin, if you don't have a Motor Drive (1 or 2) the Control Grip (1 or 2,
each fits both drives) will not be any use to you :-(

To connect the Power Bounce Grip 2 to your bodies will take a mixture of
cables.  First, the easy one - connect to the 4Ti with any of the TTL cords
T0.1, T0.6, T2.0 or T5.0 (from memory!).  There is a socket at the base of
the battery holdeer (or you can use the T32 socket) and the camera
connection is on the front below the rewind knob.  For the 1n and 2n you can
use an Autoconnector 4 on the end of any of the T cables.  For connecting to
the 1, since it cannot do TTL metering and cannot interface to the T series
ready lights, I suggest you just use the PC cord which is stowed in the base
of the Power Bounce Grip 2, connected to the PC socket on the side of the
lens throat.

You'll have to be a bit more precise as to the nacro lenses before I can
offer any thoughts.  What lenses are they?

Macro Setup


I stopped by one of the suburban camera stores and bought the above items
and some Macro lenses.

Can someone tell me how to use them and what batteries and connecting cables
I need to look for?
I have the usual OM1,1n,2n and 4Ti cameras, a T32 Flash unit, an OM set of
7,14,25 rings, and two Winder 1units.

I also would like info on what I need to use the auto 80 f4 and 50 3.5 Macro
lenses. I understand there is a bellows  unit and slide copier but I have no
idea about other parts and cables that would be required. The 80 f4 Macro
lens sticks out in the back and must need something other than a direct
connection to a camera.

Any hints and useful links greatly appreciated.

As Ever,
