Heh, I guess you're right -- I figured setting the flash onto either
manual power or telling the flash to control itself would stop any
signals getting sent 'outside' that might confuse the camera, and it
seems to be okay.
Looking at the physical positions of the contacts, there doesn't seem
to be any matches between those on a T32 and those on an FL-50 -- on the
other hand, Canon flashes seem to have four extra terminals in a little
square 'behind' the central one, of which three would match up with the
E-1's connections, and so using a Canon flash on an E-1 would probably
be a bad idea. (on the upside, I'd guess that Canon off-camera hot shoe
cords ought to work with an E-1)
