That's a shame. I purchased all three of my 285HVs second hand and
they're all the old made-by-Vivitar version. I still keep a look-out for
older 285HVs whenever I wander into camera shops.

Beware of the new reissue 285HV's though: Vivitar in name only, apparently.

Check out the Yongnuo flashes instead. A YN-460 is $78 at Amazon.
The YN-560 II is $130 and is equiv to a Pentax AF-540 (a photon bomb)
or Nikon SB800 for power.
All manual-only, like the 285HV.

Look for a Vivitar 285HV. New ones are about $90 from B&H and the trigger
voltage is low enough they're even safe to use on a (you should pardon the
expression) Canon DSLR hotshoe.
It's pretty easy to figure out.
