I've got an old Starblitz 2200BA minitwin flash and wanted to know if I could use it with my EOS 50D.


I googled a bit and found this site: http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html


According to this site, my flash is not safe for use with a Canon EOS camera since it's trigger voltage is 225V, while EOS cameras' max trigger voltage is about 6V.


So I'm certianly not going to mount it on my 50D's hot-shoe, but what if I mount it to something like this: Wein Safe-Sync Hot Shoe to Hot Shoe High Voltage Sync Regulator


Will it be safe? Would you do that?


Also, will it be safe to connect this old flash to the 50D using the PC connector instead of the hot-shoe, or that is not safe just like mounting the old flash to the hot-shoe mount?
