No direct experience, but my understanding is that the OM-4 measures
flash exposure off-the-film and will turn off the flashes when the
exposure is correct. All you need are the proper cables (sorry, I'm not
the one to ask about *that*!)
Note the "no direct experience" above! Wait a day for someone more
knowledgablae to corect my errors. Don't make any life-changing
decisions based on my advice. Etc.
For me, the main benefit of the T-45 (or the T-32 on a BG2) is that it
is powerful (and flexible) enough to point straight up at a low ceiling,
or even BACK to reflect of a wall or three. This gives very nice,
moderately uniform lighting without the shadows (if that's what is
desired). Positioning and balancing multiple flashes is a bit beyond my
usual technique. I'm much more of an "available darkness" freak.
