A simple and easy-to-use body, similar but better than Pentax K1000 in terms of specs. The body also has a Pentax K mount. |
The front and back body surfaces are covered by a rubber layer, comfortable to hold. |
On the left side of viewfinder, from top to bottom, there are +(red), o(green) and -(red) LCDs to indicate the light meter measurements. |
V2000 might indicates the highest shutter speed, 1/2k sec. |
V2000 might indicate the highest shutter speed, 1/2000 sec. |
Good is the metal tripod screw hole, strong and durable to use. Bad is the thin plastic battery, easy to fall apart. |
Just got one from Ebay for $20, with a Vivitar 50mm f1.9 fitted. It was advertised as broken, and I was only after the lens. I put some cells in the battery holder, tested all the speeds of the shutter and generally cleaned the body up. Everything seems OK so I am now going to run a roll of film through it. The Cosina-made lens has a good write-up, so maybe I'll be in for a good surprise.....
ReplyDeleteCame across a Vivitar v2000-one with vivitar 70-210 mm macro focusing zoom, 1:45-5.6
ReplyDeleteAny info on this? Trying to determine best 35mm for close up black and white portrait film that can go digital and be enlarged
