The Vivitar V3800N is a Pentax K mount manual-focus 35mm SLR marketed by Vivitar. As of 2012 the V3800N is still in production and available new with list price of $299 USD (w/28-70mm zoom lens) or $239 USD (w/50mm lens). The camera is manufactured by Cosina, and is a close relative to the Cosina C1s and Nikon FM10. However a unique feature of this model is its multiple-exposure feature: when the silver button below the shutter release is pressed, the shutter may be re-cocked without advancing the film. With a PC connector for off-camera flash, and a depth-of-field preview button, the V3800N is one of the more full-featured and desirable of the Vivitar V series SLRs.
There appear to be two color variants of the camera body: one is all black while the other is black with a grey top housing. The Promaster 2500PK Super and Hikari 2002 appear to be nearly-identical cameras with slightly altered styling.
