One may achieve the same result with OM-2n/shoe 4, OM-2S, OM-4 series 
and OMPC simply by covering the third contact with a bit of tape.

When I listed TTL flash contact in my reasons to prefer the OM-4 series, 
I was actually referring to the TTL cord connector on the front of the 
body. Oly made adapters to replace the shoe on either 2 or 2n with such 
a connector, but one cannot use both shoe mounted flash and remote flash 
in TTL-OTF mode at once**. As main and fill light, for example.

I suspect it doesn't matter for the 20mm macros, but might for other 
set-ups one might later want.
