Canon t2i vs Olympus FL-40

[almaz]

Hello guys,

This is my 1st post. Sorry for not introducing myself in proper section. Anyway...

Can I use my old Olympus FL-40 flash with my new Canon t2i without any problems to either of them?

According to this page:
Photo Strobe Trigger Voltages

Olympus FL-40 has only 3v of trigger voltage.

What do you think?

Thank you in advance,
almaz

You probably could, but it's going to be a waste of time. If you do, why not shell out $40 or so and get some cheap radio triggers off ebay and then you can use it off-camera - better pictures plus no chance of damaging the camera.

Is that you meant?

Thank you in advance,
