Nikon F801\N8008 and Vivitar 2800 - friend or foe?

[Michael_I]

Hi!

I just recieved a nikon f801 and I own a vivitar 2800(which I use on my  mechanical cameras with success).

Now, I've been scared by internet, which says older flashes can burn modern cameras(and this nikon is the most modern camera I ever had).

Can I try to work them together?

Thanks,
Mike

Don't use the older flash with the Nikon. my owners manual even tells me this is a bad thing to do Spark burn dead camera.
