First of all I am not an expert but I do appreciate the TTL system on
the OM-2.  I use the 310 flash with the grip on a regular bases and get
wel good results.  For a fill to compliment the 310 I have a Soligor
Auto Zoom 3000 which has variable power setting in the manual mode.  To
taht flash I connect a slave photo electric cell.  As will to "soften"
the output I have a piece of translucent paper over the flash head of
the 3000.  With the TTL I am "guaranteed" perfect falsh pictures with
the 310 and the fill.
