Flash compatability question.

[funkyphantom]

Hi, ive just been given a cobra 700AF flash gun, and a nikon sb-18 flash gun. I know theyre old, but was wondering if anyone knew if they would work (in manual mode) on my D70. I know d70s take iTTL flash units but ive found conflicting reports via google that these flashes will work, but i dont want to fry the electronics on my camera. Please help.
thanks

hehe, i darnt try it to be honest. The pins on the flash mount are exactly the same as the pins on the hotshoe, so i presume theyd be compatible in that way. But it aint worth blowing my camera just for the sake of a cheap flash i dont think.
