Initially, this print was a bit too dark and too flat for my taste. It really benefitted from some rather vigorous toning in selenium and sepia.

Found the matched selenium meter online for a recently-acquired Minolta SR-1 camera. Came complete with its leather case. The meter is non-functional, but given its age, that's not unusual. It is in great cosmetic shape, otherwise. The meter completes the camera and truly gives it a late-1950's look. Handsome, eh?

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
La Voigtländer Vitessa deu ser una de les cà meres de 35mm més inusuals de la seva època, i compta amb més d'una caracteristica força inusual.
Es tracta d'una cà mera telemetrica de 35mm plegable i amb fotometre, fabricada el 1956. Fins aquà res d'especial. El fotometre es de seleni d'un tipus una mica inusual però res més. Però la manera com es plega aixà 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 cà mera amb "portes de graner", com la Chinon Bellami.
El que sà 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 cà da 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 cà mera, però he vist que és obviament prou valida (és una Voigtlander, després de tot). Obviament, com indica el seu nom, es força rà pida 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.

Lith print in Moersch Easy Lith on Fomatone 532. I used a very long exposure (>3 min) to get more detail in the lith print.
Toned for >15 min in Foma Selenium 1+19, in order to change the greenish tone of this paper into brown.
I realise my record on the times is not very precise, next time I'll have to improve on that...
