"...The A11 flash ( Olympus XA2 twin rig) seems notorious for red eye!  Does
anyone have a hack/modification to move the flash to a grip or other
ideas to correct this problem? ..."


Sure!  Years ago I had a defective A11 flash.  I took it apart, tossed the
(dead) guts, and soldered a PC contact onto the inside of the (proprietary)
connector.  Voila!  One custom XA-to PC connector, and almost for free.
Didn't use it much, though, as my primary battery portable flashes are Vivitar
283's and it sort of defeated the ourpose of a pocket size camera....

ps.  used to have a Minox B (8x11mm submini)...only flash I ever used with
that was a 283...one strange looking rig....
