Also, can the F280 be used off camera and if so is the
connecting cord to the hot shoe expensive and / or hard to locate?

The cords for using the F280 remote are different from those for the T-series. See the page and associated ones Tom Scales posted from Hans' site for details about them. Be certain you ask and get the correct cords for it.

Also, an F280 can be used in a BG-2, but will _not_ be powered by the cells in the BG-2 handle, and the BG-2 only has a T-series cord connector on it (along with the PC cord on the base). As I understand it, one would use an F cord straight from the flash to an OM hot shoe for TTL control.
