Vivitar 35 ES

[Uwe_Nds]

I've just checked my 35 ES against my OM2n meter (which I know is accurate). With a silver SR44 (which is what it came with) the 35 ES meter gives one stop over, so if I set the film speed to a stop faster the exposure looks spot on.

I'm going to order some 675s though - I'd prefer to have the voltage as close to what it was designed for as possible.

Alan, is the one stop overexposure constant across the range of exposure values?

BTW: here's two pictures from the test roll out of my Revue 400SE.
Looks like a keeper.

Best regards,
Uwe

I like the soft bokeh around the sharp subject in the pictures. A quality that is lost in today's generation of digital P&S.

I have a Vivitar 35EE which appears to be a slower lens version of the ES. My 35EE has a sharp lens, BUT not as sharp as the lens on my similar but different Vivitar 35EM. Unfortunately the 35EM is very hard to find and when found usually has shutter issues. I went through about 4-5 purchases before finally finding a perfect one, and one that works 90% of the time. Good thing they only cost $15-30 USD!

Enjoy your camera. A nice little pocket gem that will give you very nice photos.

Hi Uwe,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes, the one stop does seem to be consistent. And now that I have some 675 batteries, it still seems to give a consistent one stop over.

Now all I have to do is develop the first couple of rolls from it.

Hi Alan,

Thank you very much! That sounds good then.
Hope you will post some results here.

Best regards,
Uwe

I will, yes - I might even develop them today 😀
