I have had a Vivitar 285 for several years now and consider it
one of my better purchases.  I have not noticed any blue tint
when using it.  I tend to use the 285 mostly when I am shooting
in snapshot mode (i.e.  parties).  I really like the combination
of features...Several automatic ranges (great for depth of field)
...the tilt head (soften those shadows)...and its power.

My only caution is get a set of rechargable batteries for it.
I went through a set of $3 Duracells each time I shot a roll
before I invested in a couple sets of GE Rechargables.
