Not entirely true. Older Vivitar 283s had a high voltage but current ones
do not. Vivitar has a toll-free tech number in the U.S. at (800) 421-2381,
where they'll describe how to tell the older and newer flashes apart. But
the problem has been solved for a long enough time now that it's unlikely a
283 bought new is going to cause any camera any harm.
