Re: Vivitar Flashes
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. - Ray _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

RE: Incredible Pentax Spotmatic Knock-off available on eBay
The seller has 'fixed' the description of the item (a Yashica Electro 35).

Source for Pentax Parts Needed
Anybody know a good source for parts. I need a battery cap (the screw-in type) for a Program A (I believe one for a Program Plus, Super Program or Program A would work as well).
