Will an SB28 work off-camera with a D40?

I have a D40, and looking at buying a SB28 (not sb28x). I will only use it off-camera and it will be triggered by an optical trigger. If I put the unit in Manual mode, there shouldn't be any reason why it shouldn't work, right?

Right. I use an even older SB 22 the same way, except I have it bouncing in an umbrella using a slave.

EDIT: Of course, Edwin is correct. But I'm assuming that (since you've even considering a SB28) budget is the big issue here.

So, go forward knowing there ARE definite limitations.

Its a good flash BUT - it will not work with your camera's iTTL off-sensor flash metering. IMO you'll be happier - and have better results - with the newer SB-600.
