Nikon - will my old SB26 flash work with a D70 body?

Question

I have an old Nikon SB26 flash that my friend wants to borrow, but I'm not sure if it's safe to use on his Nikon D70. I've heard about differences in trigger voltages causing damage to some more recent digital bodies and I don't want to take the risk. Anybody know for sure?

Answer 1

Page 188 of my D70s (note the "s") manual lists the SB26 as a compatible flash,but it can not be used in TTL-Auto mode.

It will work in Non-TTL Auto, Manual, Repeating flash, and Rear-curtain sync modes.
