[photo-3d] XA2 Twin Rig

Well, now that I've (almost) caught up with the work I didn't do while at 
NSA, I'd like to get some info on the XA2 twin rig I bought from Paul Talbot 
at the convention. I've already called Olympus, which said it would send me 
the instruction manuals for both the XA2 and the flash that goes with it, but 
I'm interested in hearing from those who have experience with this rig "in 
the field" (or, preferably, indoors, where most of my shooting will take 
place). I'm particularly interested in whether there's an adapter that can 
change the dedicated flash port to a regular PC port so I can use my Vivitar 
285 with the system if I like. (That 11A flash seems much too small for my 
purposes - but it might not be. Would appreciate comment on that as well, 
including a guide number.)

Feel free to comment directly to me at markkernes@xxxxxxx if you wish, or 
post here. Much appreciations in advance for those who do.
