I remember reading something on the internet (maybe on this site) about the 
"discharge voltage" on the V283 flash units being too high for modern 
electronic cameras.  SOMETHING ABOUT FRYING THE CAMERA.  SOUNDED SERIOUS.

But, I also vaguely remember reading that it is only the oldest models of 
V283 (maybe 285 too).

Finally, I remember reading that Vivitar Tech Support can tell by serial 
number (and/or country of manufacture) whether the unit is to be 'feared' or 
not.
