Olli, I suspect that you already have what you need, except for the EOS
body, because the EOS flash pin-outs are for your purposes the same as those
on the OM TTL shoe. In other words, the same set-up as you have with the E-1
will work with an EOS body.

But if you want both T-32 off camera, you will need to use a TTL Auto Shoe
Cord T 0.6 (one for sale here http://tinyurl.com/46k5qfw ) together with TTL
Auto Connector T20 (270710586927 on the auction site) between one T-32 and
the EOS flash shoe (because you are using the T-32's TTL socket to
daisy-chain to another T-32). To the best of my knowledge, either the
Olympus E FL-CB05 cord or the equivalent Canon cord (OC-E3?) will be OK, but
you could also use an aftermarket version.

Don't worry about the 6V. It is not that the T32 needs 6V, but the opposite
- that the camera cannot tolerate more than 6V-12V on the flash sync
terminals (the hotshoe). The T32 is well-known to be a low voltage flashgun,
with no high voltages on its hotshoe to affect the EOS body - see

Hi,

One more question before I buy an EOS dslr.

So far I have been doing studio portrait photos with E-1 so that I have one
T-32 sitting on top of the camera and then a 5 meter TTL auto cord T-cable
from that T-32 to another T-32 that is on a stand with an umbrella. The T-32
on the camera is not used to give any light but only to serve as an
'adapter' where I can connect the cable so that the other T-32 can be
flashed with E-1.

I have liked this arrangement since I have the AC power adapter for T-32.
This way my 'studio flash' never runs out of battery and it recharges quite
quickly.


And now the question:

How am I able to use T-32 away from the camera with an EOS dslr body? Manual
exposure is ofcourse OK. I have been reading about the 6 volts that the T-32
needs and it seems that T-32 and EOS is not perhaps the best combination...



Best regards,

Olli
