Has anybody experience with the T-18 flash? I'm aware that ALL other
flashes are probably better, but I'm not really a flasher (seriously,
no pun ;-)) and I like the tiny weight and size of the T-18: fits in
a pocket. I would only use it for those rare
party/dinner/family/memory shots that doesn't really crave anything
"arty". They sell one for $70 here, which I think is quite expensive,
but maybe I can trade in something I don't use to reduce the price.

I bought a T18 flash from the known auction site. It was about 25$, with
shipping and sending money cost; 70$ is something between a T20 and a T32!
The T18 is a nice flash, but offers "only" TTL and manual exposure, so if
you plan to use it on a OM-1,3,10,20 (not sure about OM-30), you will have
only manual exposure. There is a scale on the back of the flash useful for
this operation. Off course on a OM-2,4 you will have full TTL capabilities.
Regarding other flashes, you can have a T20 that offers the same
capabilities of the T18 plus normal auto (two different f-stop, very
useful, F4 and F8), so you can use it on auto also on OM-1,3,10,20, but it
weight more and is bigger. For the S20, it is not TTL, and only has normal
auto (but at F2.8 and F5.6) and manual possibilities. In Italy it sells new
for about 45$.
