Vivitar 28

I tried to check with Vivitar.com, but they do not reference this product, much less have the manual available for download. I have requested a response from their customer support, but I am not optimistic about a quick response. If anyone has one available and could answer a few questions (preparation for baby shrimp!) that would be great!

You might get a better response if you posted this question in another section, Science?? this is a camera section not too many Microscopes here..sorry.
Good Luck

Its a quite nice lens to use on a crop frame cause you can stand much close than using a 50mm only its not as fast as most 50mm but its is one of ...

telaconverter ?

There isn't much call for old 35mm cameras these days... maybe $25

I'm obviously a beginner, and I was wondering if getting an "auto flash" kit with a vivitar V3800n slr 35mm manual with a 28-70mm lens would be useful with b&w.
let me know, thanks!

Buy a Vivitar 283 or 285 flash with the off-camera remote sensor and the bracket designed for it. You'll have plenty of control - 4 auto settings + manual. Check at keh.com or bhphotovideo.com or adorama.com or eBay.

I'm still using a 283 I bought new in Feb. of 1976. Yes, a 32 yr. old flash still going strong. In fact, I used it last Nov. with my 30 yr. old Minolta XG-9 to photograph my daughter's 30th. birthday party.

So i was lookin through where we keep the video camera and digital and all that and i found a bag, that among other photography stuff had 2 cameras and they look a little old, i know they re my dads but hes in iraq right now. So basicallly are they ametur , good for beginners(i wanna do a little photography and develop the film myself) are they too old? thanks, also some lenses'

minolta x-700
minolta x-370
minolta motordrive 1
55mm dianmeter vivitar 80-200mm
vivitar autozoom 28-70mm
manuals were in the bag but dont tell me like standard settings for things, i have no real cluse how to set it up and work it.

x700 is an alltime classic, the X370 is another version of the X300 the baby sibling to the X700.

i have each of the three cameras above and up till 7 years ago used the x700 professionally recieving some awards

at the end of the day the bodies just move the film from one side to the other, image quality starts at the lens, unfortunately the ones u list are not that sharp. if you want to shot film get the minolta MD F1.4 50mm very sharp lens

if you dont know what your doing put the camera on the "A" setting for automatic, you will however have to manual focus

hope this helps, for more specific info email me
