The Vivitar PZ3140 is a 35mm film point-and-shoot from circa 2004. This was one of the top models in the company's range.

Here's how it was described in the 2004 Vivitar catalog:

  • Compact 35mm 4X Power Zoom Camera featuring Data Back
  • Featuring a 38—140mm Power Zoom Lens
  • Maximum f/stop of 3.9 for low-light photography
  • Shutter speeds down to 1 second
  • Active infrared auto focus system with focus-lock
  • Switchable panorama mode
  • Self-timer

The camera requires a CR123 battery (available as an option).

Condition notes
The camera was tested with film and a battery installed (it was not developed however) and it is working correctly. In addition we verified the camera's autofocus by checking the film plane focus on an autocollimator. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos).
