Does anyone know the maximum hot shoe trigger voltage for the 5D mark II and the T2i? I have small but powerful Vivitar 252 Auto thyristor flash has has a 43v trigger voltage and would like to have it as an option to lugging around my 580EX II.

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

However, I can only trigger the 43v Vivitar using the PC cable on the 5Dii, not the shoe, nor on the T2i since it doesn't have a PC cable. Also, my A-1 only triggers over the PC cable, too, not the shoe. Strange problem. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.
