Some flashes have a very high voltage on the synch line. EOS owners know about this as it can easily fry the inside of their cameras. I'd be careful if I were you. To make these flashes safe, you can get a device, I think the Wein SafeSynch or something like that is the preferred device. Don't fry your digital camera! You can check the synch voltage with a simple voltmeter across the plug inner and outer. Low and safe is like 6 volts or less. If you see hundreds of volts, do NOT connect it to your camera under any conditions. Many are this high! Ok, I warned you. You might want to Google search for your camera and flash, plenty out there that's already been done and tested. I checked out a cordless unit for 35 bucks, but it said not safe for E20.
