Vivitar 283 flash coupler to connect to the hot shoe on a Nikon F3?
I have recently changed from OM1 system to Nikon F3, I have a Vivitar 283 Electronic Flash. Is there a hot shoe coupler so that I use this flash on the Nikon F3. Also will it sync up. Thanks, Ed.
You don’t say how old your 283 was If its an old one you may want to go with something like the wein HS to HS Safe Sync slave. Some older versions of the 283 can have high trigger voltages. The ones marked “made in China are supposed to be the newer ones and to have a safe trigger voltage. Heres a good link on trigger voltages and there was a good article in this months shutterbug on using older flashes on newer cameras

The F3 was made long enough ago it should be safe with higher trigger voltages but better safe than sorry
