In regards to 283's damaging electronics, I think it has to do with the year
of manufacture.
I believe there was in article about this in Pop Photo a while back. Seems
like 283's and some others had very high trigger voltages.
Trigger voltages are now lots lower on recent units.

Many 283's have incompatible electrics with many electronic camera
bodies and have resulted in damaged circuitry. That was what I meant.
Perhaps John Hermanson can give us a definitive word on the use of
283's on the OM-2n hot shoe.

That part had never ocurred to me. Hopefully, it didn't harm anything.
