The shutter clicked and after that all seems fine. Then I noticed that the self-timer was cocked, and gently but firmly persuaded it back into position. ![]() Shutter went ‘click’without opening, even with a film in (I have a scrap roll I use to test shutter/wind on my new acquisitions). Also the shutter is locked until you put a film in the camera, sometimes that will allow you to get a seemingly ‘broken’ one as a bargain. Notable features: manual frame counter setting, the counter is subtractive (counts backward) so after loading set it to the number of exposures and let it count down to zero. The shutter is very smooth and silent even in this model, and with the scale focus this becomes a great stealth camera. It is a sharp Tessar style lens, occasionally found in the faster 50/2.8 configuration. The Vito B sports the same semi-legendary Color-Skopar found on the everpopular Vito II and other Voigtlander classics. ![]() A later model (BS) has an oversized viewfinder that while more practical, in my opinion throws off the ‘look’ of this sleek little package. ![]() My sample is the ‘budget’ version, with 4-speed Pronto shutter instead of the better Prontor-SVS shutter. One of those cameras that you really need to hold in your hot little hand to appreciate. ![]() Small, sweet little scale-focus classic from Voigtlander.
