Early in the 1960s, the Vivitar brand was created to compete with other
major camera lens companies. Then Vivitar negotiated with experienced lens engineers
and high end Japanese optical lens companies like Kiron Optical to manufacture
their lenses. They then carefully positioned their limited line of products with key
photo retail shops and swiftly built a name for quality lenses at
reasonable prices.
After succeeding with its aftermarket line of lenses, Vivitar added its
own 35mm film camera line built by Japanese companies like Cosina. These cameras include the Cosina-manufactures
Vivitar SLR plus the rangefinder Vivitar 35ES/EE cameras.
