The Vivitar 35EE is a 35mm camera. It dates from the 70s and is a cut-down version of the Vivitar 35ES. It is believed that the camera distributed by the American company “Vivitar” was produced by Cosina.
The Vivitar 35EE is a compact camera with a fixed lens. This is a 38 mm f/2.8 with a filter thread (46 mm). It is focused with the built-in rangefinder. The closest focusing distance is one meter.
The CdS exposure meter automatically sets the correct exposure. Film sensitivities from ISO/ASA 25 to 400 are possible. Besides that you can use all 35mm films (eBay / Amazon*).
The power for it comes from a PX 625 1.35V button cell. Since mercury batteries are no longer allowed to be sold in the EU, you can replace them with a hearing aid battery of similar voltage.
The Revue 400S is practically identical to the Vivitar 35EE.
