Thank you, now I know that I'm supposed to buy a shoe 3 to get TTL-auto
with my OM2.
When I measure at my shoe 2 and my Power Bounce Grip 2 (with a shoe 3
contact pattern), it seems simple to modify the shoe 2. The shoes look
like this:
-------- --------
| o | | o o |
| O | | O |
-------- --------
Shoe 2 Shoe 3
I have now measured on my equipment and found that the small contact on
the shoe2 has the same function as the left small contact on the shoe3
(TTL-auto?). I'm going to extend the small contact on my shoe 2 to the
left, so it can come in contact with the appropriate contact on my T32.
The modified shoe should look like this when I'm finished:
--------
| =o |
| O |
--------
Modified shoe 2
Any comments? To me this seems like an acceptable solution considering
the expenses with a new shoe3.
