An interesting 35mm SLR marketed by [[Vivitar]] but based on the [[Cosina CSR]]. Its main claim to fame is the odd accessory autoexposure unit, which plugs into the camera and rotates the shutter speed dial with a motor. But the XC-2 has admirers for its ability to use many [[42mm screw lenses|M42 lenses]]; its double-exposure facility; its high 1/4000 second maximum shutter speed; and its built-in spot metering option.
