Summary: Good flash
Comment: I have been using this flash for couple of years. It is a real work horse. Like other flashes in this time period, it makes high pitch noise as it recharges.

The shoe mount voltage is enough to fry the modern digital body - you would either need a shoe mount adapter or remote trigger. I use two flashes using cactus 4 remote trigger.

Summary: choice of flashgun
Comment: Having played around with photography for 20 years now I am baffled by Vivitar.They produce the 283 flashgun (a good product). Then they produce the 285 with almost the same specs.Except the 283 trigger voltage is over 300 volts and the 285 is 8 volts. Ok if used on the old SLR`s.But what about digital cameras? There are users asking what flashgun can I use on my Fuji 4900 and 6900? I go faint at the thought of putting a 283 on my Fuji 4900. No information is given in the instruction book. So i must conclude with the old saying "Buyer beware"
