The Vivitar V3800N has a pretty good viewfinder, as you would expect from a manual focus SLR (stated 92% field of view and 0.91x magnification with a 50mm lens). There are split-image and microprism aids on the focusing screen.
Out of focus:
In focus:
There are also three TTL metering indicators in the viewfinder (as I wrote before, batteries are only needed for TTL metering):
The "+" indicates overexposure. The "-" indicates underexposure. The green circle indicates correct exposure. Rotate the speed dial or an aperture ring to change the exposure.
The green indicator and a "+" or "-" indicator may glow together, indicating slight overexposure or underexposure (which are OK).
The disadvantage of the viewfinder is the lack of diopter adjustment.
