No, I own the same flash and tried it.
You need the new SCA module and a new flash. (40MZ2 / 40MZ3 etc..)

BTW I miss the cobra look of the 36CT3, the 40MZ3 is to short (red eyes
=2E..) ,
to deep (longer than some lenses 28/2,8 etc..) and to big.
With the 100 APO -MACRO there is almost a shadow.
But the results are usually excellent with the reflector.

(The NIKON SB-26 (or the new SB-28) is almost perfect.)
