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 series. It also has a lot in common with the Mamiya 135 EE. Available in all black, or chrome with black covering, this camera was also branded as the Revue 400S, Chinon 35EE, GAF Memo ET, Cosina 35 and the Prinz 35E from Dixons.
