The Vivitar 35EE is a 35mm rangefinder camera with automatic exposure, made for Vivitar (probably by Chinon or Cosina) in the mid-1970s. It is a simpler version of the Vivitar 35ES with a slower lens. The design owes a debt to the Konica C35 and Minolta Hi-matic. This camera was also branded as the Revue 400S, Chinon 35EE, GAF Memo ET, Cosina 35 and the Prinz 35E from Dixons.
