Andre,

Don't know about option 3. It would not be an Olympus adapter. The olympus 
components would be a shoe 4 and a TTL auto shoe cord, which adapts the hot 
shoe connections to a TTL plug which then goes into the socket on the T32 or 
bounce grip. This cord has .6M curly wire. It is designed primarily for the 
double - digit cameras, where it is the only way of doing off - camera TTL 
flash. I use it on an OM4Ti, as the socket on the front of those does not lock 
a normal TTL cord, only the short cord for the T45. Works well.
For an OM2n, I would think you are better off with the Auto Connector 4 and a 
short TTL cord, however. It's neater, feels stronger and is probably cheaper.
