Put a T-32 on a Stroboframe QuickFlip 350 flash bracket. Shoot in
manual (or, ahem, auto) mode. It will work just as well (and likely
better) and cost you a lot less. Lots of other low cost options too
from Sunpak and Vivitar.
We used to have off-the-film TTL for both ambient and flash exposure.
That doesn't exist any more for any digital camera including Olympus.
Digital sensors are too shiny and reflective for off-the-sensor TTL.
Canyon (and I assume all the others as well) are still trying to figure
out how to make it work (reliably). The latest Canyon flash unit (the
580EX II) has quietly re-introduced flash controlled auto mode. Same
thing as you find in the T-32 and the Vivitar 283 going back to the
70's. Quietly, I say. You won't find that feature listed in the specs
on Canyon's web site.
