Key specs

I had read that the battery life might be short but have had great success with Kodak rechargeables, full 45 mins video.

Series 1 70-210mm f/2.8-4 Macro Focusing Zoom, Manual Focus, Apochromatic, 62mm filter size (Cosina) Marketed ca 1980 [46] [47] These replace some of the original TX family lenses. The fixing ring for the mount adapter is narrower, as is its latch (whose plastic now has a molded O <—> L facing outward). Filter diameters are also reduced. Other 1st generation TX lenses continued to be sold. All lenses in this family are believed to be manufactured by Tokina. These lenses may occasionally be found with "RMC Tokina" branding, with "TXZ" mounting adapters. On September 30, 1996, Plaza Create Co Ltd of Japan, acquired Vivitar Inc. from Gestetner PLC. In January 1997, President and CEO of Vivitar, Alex Wijnen, announced the company would be split into two divisions: the Photographics and Optics Division, and the Electronics and Digital Imaging Division. [27] After the success of its aftermarket lens line, Vivitar later introduced its own line of 35mm film cameras manufactured by Japanese companies such as Cosina. These include the Cosina-made Vivitar SLR and the Vivitar 35ES/EE series of rangefinder cameras.I bought this camera recently for my Wifes birthday as the old digital camera we had was only 2.1 mega pixel and although took excellent pictures when someone was standing still did not give a great picture if there was the slightest movement. This wasted a lot of our picture and they had to be deleted. This new camera has all the latest feature including optical and digital zoom as well as sports mode and video mode with sound which is great when you have a 3.5 year old who is learning to play football. The camera has an excellent size of LCD screen which makes viewing pictures clearer and helps with the grandparents who can't see very well. The compatability and connectability to other appliances is very easy and self explanatory. In the early 1970s, Ponder & Best decided on a new strategy for their Vivitar lenses. Up until now, they had selected lenses designed and built by other manufacturers and rebadged them as Vivitar lenses. Now they set out to create designs for high-quality lenses to their own specifications. They would still outsource the manufacture of the lenses to other companies but the designs would be Vivitar's. These new high-quality lenses were badged as Vivitar Series 1 lenses. This new strategy started with three Ponder & Best employees; researchers Gary Eisenberger and Murray Schwartz, and product manager Bill Swinyard. [17] Eventually, Ponder & Best brought in American company OPCON Associates of Standford, CT for the initial Series 1 lens designs. Series 1 200mm f/3.5 Auto Focus Telephoto, introduced 1984, 67mm filter size (initially Komine and then taken production taken over by Cosina) In the 1960s, Ponder & Best was located at 11201 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90064. [11]. The building at this location, built in 1947, is still standing and is zoned for retail use. [12] In 1964, they also opened two branch offices, one in New York city and one in Chicago.
