Voigtländer Vito B
Voigtländer Vito B with 3.5/50 Color-Skopar
Variant with large Viewfinder, introduced 1957.
Prontor-SVS shutter with 1/300 s top speed and EV scale.
Update after one roll of film: Fine camera. Though the viewfinder is huge and the frame in it is clearly visible from many directions, I had some difficulties with framing my motif exactly. Because of the EV-scale the shutter speed ring and the f-stop ring are coupled, you have to press an unconvenient button if you want to move one of these seperately. The Color-Skopar is Voigtländer's version of the Zeiss Tessar, sharp and without noticeable quirks. With a Tessar an out of focus background can be somewhat disturbed sometimes, in my opinion the Skopar is smoother here.
