The only problem I have with th ebuilt in PC cord is that if I use the BG2
with a winder on my OM-1, I can't put the BG2 on the right (shutter release)
side of the camera and use the shutter release on the grip with an M grip
cord. The PC cord is too short. If I put it on the OM-1 I have to put it on
the left side.

As far as I have been able to tell it doesn't matter. The connector on the
grip helps to keep the TTL cord out of the way, at least for me. Get a 0.3M
TTL cord.

All the batteries work together (if present).
