Vivitar L.A. Brites 110 film camera

[amanda_edmonds1]

<p>Hi! I recently bought a Vivitar L.A. Brites camera from a Goodwill, and was just wondering if anyone knew specifically when they were produced or what year mine could be from? I looked it up and it said that Vivitar made the 110 cameras anywhere from the 70s-90s. But I couldn't find any specific information about the L.A. Brites. Any information is appreciated! Thanks so much!<br>

<p>Also, if anyone knows how much they cost originally that would be neat to know as well!</p>

<p>Well, a quick Google search wasn't much help with pricing, although I did see one ad for a "factory sealed" camera for $50US. It could be that a camera in mint condition is actually worth more today as a collectible than it was originally.</p>

<p>You may want to go to the source: Contact Vivitar corporate at <a href="http://www.vivitar.com/p/corporate">http://www.vivitar.com/p/corporate</a>. The web page also show some phone numbers that may be helpful.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Vivitar never made much high-end gear as far as 110 cameras went. Likely it was made for Vivitar by another company. Collectors value is likely a lot more than its original cost. <br>

Vivitar, did, however, market some nice lenses (notably the Series 1 line) and some high quality electronic flash units (283, etc.)</p>
