The concern I have with mine is that it has a very high terminal voltage
and draws a lot of current across the flash contacts. I've used it with
several cameras, including a 3.5F and haven't noticed any damage.
I believe that later versions included some provision to limit the voltage
and/or peak contact current.
==========================
The concern over voltage concerns early cameras with computerized circuitry
such as the Canon A-1 and the like. It should not be a concern for a
camera with a straightforward metal-to-metal contact. I have a bunch of
flashes but the one I tend to carry around with me is an early Japan-built
283, though I do use a Metz 45 CL-4 with my 2.8GX when the going gets serious.
