Nikon SB-28 and Newer Cameras

I have an old Nikon SB-28 Speedlight in good condition left over from my film days. I'm going to give it to a friend who has a Nikon D5200 DSLR. I'm aware TTL won't work but Auto will.

Can you see any problems arising?

I have used, and still use as a back up, an SB-28 in auto or manual modes, and with good success with my two Canon cameras. Which doesn't fully answer your question, but if it works on a Canon, i gotta think it will work just fine on a Nikon, with the above limitations. In auto flash mode will set the aperture +/- as a fake exposure compensation.

Thanks for your reply. I tried the SB-28 on my 50D and it worked fine in Auto mode (camera in manual). I've passed the flash onto my Nikon shooting friend who only shoots in manual anyway. It's his first flash and he's thrilled.
