![]() The Vivitar company was originally founded in Hollywood in 1938 under the name Ponder & Best, Inc, but as a distributor, the company never manufactured cameras of its own. The name was officially changed to Vivitar in 1979, after the brand name had become prominent and successful. In 2006, this company was bought by Syntax-Brillian Corp. |
