Short answer: "Not recommended" Long answer: The center contact on a flash shoe transmits the signal for a flash to fire. This contact is in the same place on all cameras that use a flash shoe. If a flash has ONLY the center contact, then it may be used on any camera that will accept it. However, each camera manufacturer adds additional contacts onto their flashes for various additonal purposes. These contacts are different for each manufacturer. Mounting a Canon flash onto a Nikon camera may send potentially damaging electrical charges, through the additional contacts, between the two devices. These charges can potentially damage both the camera and the flash.
Each manufacture has it's own unique lens mounts. Even inside of each manufacture they can have multiple lens mounts, example would be Canon has the EF and EF-S mounts which fit the majority of the EOS line of camera's however due to frame ratio's camera's like the 1d mk II can not use EF-S mount. Check your camera's mount type and use the lenses that are built for that mount only. You can purchase non manufacture lenses for typically less then the manufacture however I would suggest trying the lens on the body before buying to confirm the lens is sharp and able to work correctly work.
Short answer is no ... most flash units are camera specific, meaning that they will only work with the camera they were designed for.
Longer answer is yes ... if you want to 100% sure none of the smaller pins short out any of the contacts on the camera then just use pc sync socket or hotshoe to pc sync on the camera or some people just use tape. A double hotshoe adaptor that only has a center pin contact will also work. The main point is to ensure only the center pin of flash and camera is used. The flash will not be able to be used in TTL mode, but many Nikon flashes have a non TTL auto and a manual mode (dependent on model) that can be used. With old canon cameras the sync voltage needs to be below 6v, most Nikon flashes are below this but it's worthwhile checking.

Will lenses from 35MM camera work on newer DSLR cameras?
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
Will a canon speedlite 420ex flash work on a rebel XTI camera?
Yes, but with some limitations. The Canon 480EG was designed as a TTL flash (through the lens metering) but also has an External Auto metering Mode. It can be used with any camera that has a PC sync connection. Don't use the "Shoe Cord E" that comes with the flash unless you are using a Film Camera with TTL flash metering. It can be used with Digital cameras provided you use a PC sync cord to connect the flash to the camera. Use the camera in manual mode and match the settings that you want to use with the flash.
