    283 is great!
    I own three of them, they work great on my Fuji S7000, but you can't put them on Sony A100 even with adaptor, it won't work! Regular slave won't work either, you need Wein (D) digital slave to work with A100's build in flash. Also, voltage is very high so try not to touch the contact pin, I got zapped more then once.

    Original Vivitar auto thyristor 283 is great! (this review is not for newer Vivitar DF-283)
    I own 5 original Vivitar 283, they work great on my Fuji S7000, and as off camera strobes with wein optical triggers. You can't put them on Sony A100 even with adaptor, it won't work! You should not put them on other DSLRs either because their trigger voltage is very high. Also, try not to touch the contact pin, I got zapped more then once. The only issue is plastic foot which brakes if the flash falls while mounted on the light stand.
