The \u003cstrong\u003eVivitar V3800\u003c\/strong\u003e descends directly from the Cosina CT-1 platform — the same chassis that Nikon sold as the FM10, Canon as the T60 and Olympus as the OM-2000 — and it arrived around 2001, when everyone else had long since gone electronic. Its specification quietly beats the Pentax K1000 that photography courses insisted on for decades: a \u003cstrong\u003emetal vertical shutter running to 1\/2000sec\u003c\/strong\u003e against the K1000's 1\/1000, plus multiple exposure, depth-of-field preview, a self-timer and a PC flash socket. The shutter is entirely mechanical, so the battery runs the light meter and nothing else. Best of all it takes the \u003cstrong\u003ePentax K mount\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is one of the deepest and cheapest lens pools in film photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 35mm SLR, fully mechanical, manual exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Pentax K — accepts K, M and later K-mount lenses with an aperture ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Metal vertical-travel focal plane, 1sec to 1\/2000sec plus Bulb — operates without a battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: TTL centre-weighted match-diode LED display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash sync: 1\/125sec, hot shoe plus PC socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtras: Multiple exposure, depth-of-field preview, self-timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: One LR44 or SR44 cell, for the meter only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: Vivitar 28-70mm zoom with macro setting — wide through short telephoto in one lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approximately 452g body only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLineage: Built on the Cosina CT-1 platform shared with the Nikon FM10, Canon T60 and Olympus OM-2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Excellent+ on both body and lens, with very minimal to no signs of age and use.

The body is more plastic than a sixties SLR, which is the honest trade for how little these cost and how few things there are inside to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vivitar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44495620112487,"sku":"L-0280","price":9000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/0793\/9943\/files\/DSC_5379.jpg?v=1787834814","url":"https:\/\/v2.filmcam.in\/products\/vivitar-v3800-28-70mm-macro-l0280","provider":"filmcameras.In","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
