Sony Flash on Canon 20D?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Does anyone know if I can use my Sony hvl-f1000 flash (used with my Sony
F707) with my new Canon 2D? I'm not having any luck locating an adapter.
Saving up for a new Speedlite, and would like to have an external unit
available in the meantime.

Thanks!

And how would he trigger the Sony hvl-f1000 with the 20D?
