Vivitar 3800N 35mm Film Camera
The Vivitar 3800N is a single-lens reflex (SLR) manual 35mm film camera from Vivitar – a company typically known for inexpensive lenses and camera accessories. Aside from a small battery to power the simple through-the-lens light meter, the Vivitar 3800N is fully manual and does not support any automatic features. The main benefit from this is price. The Vivitar 3800N is by far the least expensive 35mm film single-lens reflex (SLR) camera out of the few who still manufacture them. That said, the Vivitar 3800N may not be as sturdy and well built as other 35mm SLR film cameras.
