Subject: [Leica] FS: Vivitar 283 + SB-4 AC adapter in mint condition!

The best way to use a 283 is with the Quantum battery. I  vaguely 
remember starting to use the 283's in the early 70's. The mount was a 
very weak link and I  used it with a cord rather than the hot shoe. Many 
years, many assignments and many 283's later I still think it's a good 
unit. Especially in places you can't find a/c power.
