The vivitar I'm using currently (my friend's) had been used for quite long already. It's still workable. Don't worry. It's just how you take care and maintain your camera.

Contrasting meaning saturated images? Get slides and cross-process. How expired is your slide film? It shouldn't be expired anywhere before 2000 otherwise the colour shift would be quite extreme.
A vivitar has fixed aperture and shutter speed. Whatever type of film you use doesn't really matter. You just need to note its ISO speed; if ISO100 then you die die need to shoot under sunlight.

So far i have 4 rolls through this camera and it is still perfectly ok dun look like its dying anytime soon. Just don't wind it with force. After every shot i just wind it slowly & gently.

Ok the film expires 2007 Should be fine :). Do you recommend ISO 400 the normal ones ? I always use normal ISO 400 .But I didnt like the effect after I used it on my Fisheye2. Is like the contrast not enough or was it the weather problem.Not bright enuff or what.hah I got the old type of feeling instead of the contrasting and vibrant look. So yea I decided to buy the expired slide films and try on the Vivitar.Gonna try snapping the shophouses in Chinatown ba..
:D

Normal negatives give you normal and sometimes dull colours (expecially Kodak negs). If you're looking for bright and contrasting (aka saturated) colours then go for slides. Expired film is only for experimenting; all you get from expired film is just grainier shots and some colour shifts. Since you really want saturated shots, just get slides fresh from a store.
ISO speed is just the film sensitivity, doesn't really affect the colours.

Oh Ic .Thanks so much for the info :D ...One more question
What is the difference between slide films and normal films Is the same ar ? I am quite confused ... :roll:
My definition for normal films is like just any normal film roll from kodak shop.Than slide is what ?

slide films are E-6 processed films or professional films.
the normal films u are talking abt most prob would be c41 processed film or negatives.
both can be x-pro but in sg, shops only x-pro slide films.
and slide films are alot more expensive than negatives.
slide films when normally processed in e-6 gives very sharp accurate colours. but have lesser latitude for over/under exposure than negatives.
