IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La Voigtländer Vitessa deu ser una de les càmeres de 35mm més inusuals de la seva època, i compta amb més d'una caracteristica força inusual.
Es tracta d'una càmera telemetrica de 35mm plegable i amb fotometre, fabricada el 1956. Fins aquí res d'especial. El fotometre es de seleni d'un tipus una mica inusual però res més. Però la manera com es plega així com avança la pel·licula son especials. L'objectiu es desplega i replega rera unes "portes de graner" dobles, força inusuals. Amb tot, hi ha alguna altra càmera amb "portes de graner", com la Chinon Bellami.
El que sí sembla realment unic és l'avençador de pel·licula/carregador del obturador. Es tracta d'un gran "embol" a la part superior que funciona apretant-lo fins a baix de tot després de càda fotografia. També es plega manualment un cop s'ha tancat l'objectiu rera les "barn doors".
Per tot plegat la Vitessa sembla una curiositat amb més interès com a col·leccionisme que per a fer-la servir com a càmera, però he vist que és obviament prou valida (és una Voigtlander, després de tot). Obviament, com indica el seu nom, es força ràpida de fer anar, amb aquest llarg "carregador".

================
The Voigtländer Vitessa must be one of the most unusual 35mm cameras of its time, and it has more than one rather unusual feature.
To see it in folded position: flic.kr/p/2oQtyLJ
It is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera with photometer made in 1956. So far nothing special. The light meter is of selenium and of a somewhat unusual type but nothing else. But the way the camera unfolds and advances film are special. The lens unfolds and folds behind some rather unusual double "barn doors". There are only a few of other cameras with "barn doors", such as the Chinon Bellami.
What does seem really unique is the film advancer/shutter loader. It's a big "rod" at the top that works by squeezing it all the way down after each shot. It also can be folded manually once the objective has been closed behind the "barn doors".
All in all the Vitessa seems like a curiosity with more interest as a collectible than for use as a camera, but I've seen that it's obviously valid enough (it's a Voigtlander, after all). Obviously, as the name suggests, it is quite quick to operate, with this long "loader" rod.
