> Yes, B works properly, and all the speeds seem close to what they should
be at. I compared them to my OM1, fired simultaneously with a jury rigged
double cable, and also by looking thru the back at at TV screen and noting
the widths of the bands. I also compared the prism cell readings to the OTF
readings, and they end up with the same results. After some reading of the
manuals, if I understand it correctly, tje OM2 has a cutoff circuit that
disconnects the flash circuit if the speed exceeds 1/60th by any
amount.(IE - 1/65 ). So I assume the speeds may be out by a small amount.
