Well Uncle Dick which brand of 35mm are you using?!
I hear both the Nikons and Canons are both made in the same factory and
they¹ve got it down you just set it at P and it balances with the daylight
perfectly looking not so overly obnoxious. A no brainer.
The option option is get a Metz which are good, German and ugly and pricy.
The problem with some of the Vivitars or Sunpacks whatever you find in a
grab bag box in a camera store for 5 bucks is they do not turn off
automatically.
Like anything made in the past 20 years has. And which has gotten us
spoiled. 
So we leave stuff turned on like that. And next time see drag it out of the
bag it¹s battery acid city all over again. And  all over everything.
Flashes they¹ve got down now I love them. I¹d get a newer one if not new
one. Unless your body is old anyway. But still maybe I would.
I just got a tiny cheap but powerful and very new one for my Nikons, a
SB-400 which you can bounce off the ceiling its so powerful you¹d never
dream its the future already. Meet George Jetson.
And with a big fat lens on the camera the built in pop up flash on some of
my bodies make a shadow of the lens on the bottom of the picture!  But with
this itsey bitsy flash that does not happen so far. And the battery in your
camera does not get drained powering the flash.
And you can set it for long shutter flash for that every cool artsy look
with burr but sharp at  the same time. Love that. And real curtain flash
they all have that now so the blur is in the back of the Road Runner.
Not in front.
Which would indicate he was running backwards.
Which he was known to sometimes do
Off a cliff.
