Well, no, but I'm not impressed with that list. The information about
the shoe models is wonky, IMHO. A shoe 3 won't fit on an OM-2 because
the Shoe 3 has two pins and a screw, while the plain OM-2, at least
the one I have, has only a screw socket and one pin hole. And the
Shoe 2 only has one top pin in addition to the central sync one.
May I offer a suggestion about URLs?
If you enclose them in <> brackets, like this:
<http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif/flashphotogroup/bodyflashmodetable.htm>
... you'll note that even thought they are spread across lines, they
aren't broken by a line wrap, and they remain clickable.
Thanks for the help,
