Description
The Vivitar V3000 and Vivitar V3000s are fully manual 35mm film SLR cameras marketed by Vivitar ca 1990. There is no apparent difference between the two models other than color. The V3000 has a two-tone black and silver color scheme, while the V3000s is all-black. The cameras use the Pentax K-mount lenses. The camera body is plastic and includes a hot-shoe flash socket, internal light meter (activated by pushing the shutter release button half-way), manual film advance, a screw thread for remote shutter release cord. It has a flash sync terminal but no automatic exposure capability. The V3000s was manufactured in China by Cosina for distribution by Vivitar. A variant of this Cosina-made camera was also sold as the Yashica FX-3.
The V3000 was sold in a kit with either a V3000 body plus a 50mm f/1.7 prime lens or as a V3000 body plus a 28-70mm f/3.4-4.8 zoom lens. Both kit lenses were also Cosina-made.[1][2]
