About

Among the long series of SLRs for K mount lenses sold under Vivitar branding (but manufactured by Cosina), the XV-3 stands out as a particularly full-featured example. It is based on the Cosina CT-4, with that model's aperture-priority autoexposure and a 16-LED shutter-speed indicator at the left of the viewfinder. Unusually the viewfinder also offers a direct-viewing window for sighting the F-stop position.
