So i would like to use the TTL OTF flash capabilites of my OM2n. I do have a T20 flash and the Accessory shoe 4. The shoe has 5 pins. How do i bring these 2 together? Do i need an olympus specific cord or something?
through http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/olympusom1n2/shared/flash/index1.htm and http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif/flashphotogroup.htm
i've found i need ttl autocord T and ttl auto connector T20... who knew there is so much science behind this!
Any other way to get TTL flash metering?

Actually, with the combination you have, you are good to go with TTL, Normal Auto and Manual. The T20 is meant for the OM-2N, with shoe 4! The cord is only needed if you use an off camera grip. See the T20 manual at: http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif/flashphotogroup/manuals/t20.pdf

T20 has no TTL socket so you can't use a cord. You'd have to add TTL Connector T20. What you have now is all you need. Slide T20 into shoe 4, flip flash panel over to black (ttl) side, OR just push flash control slider all the way to the left to "manual" (that's all TTL mode is). Set body to auto. Look through finder, focus and turn f stop so shutter speed is below 1/60th and fire. Mirror goes up, when first curtain opens, flash fires, body reads flash reflected from film, send cutoff signal to flash and cuts flash off. John
