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.

Back from Morocco, where we've spent a lovely time in Fez and Meknes. Walking around in the old medinas feels like having been transported back in time for at least 140 years. I tried to reflect this feeling in my compositions and prints. By the way, it was an interesting exercise in street photography (which is not my usual style), using a Hasselblad 500 c/m.

The constellation of Orion photographed in deep red Hydrogen-Alpha light and rendered in monochrome. The filtered view brings out the very faint nebulosity in and around Orion, most invisible to the eye.

 

The Belt of Orion is just below centre, with the region of the Horsehead Nebula below the left star of the Belt, Alnitak. Below it is the very bright Orion Nebula. Surrounding the left side of Orion is the arc of Barnard’s Loop, now thought to be a supernova remnant.

 

The large circular nebula around Orion’s head is the Lambda Orionis Nebula or Sharpless 2-264. At left in Monoceros is the bright Rosette Nebula, NGC 2237, and above it the fainter nebulosity Sharpless 2-273 around the Cone Nebula. The small patch at top is Lower’s Nebula, Sharpless 2-261.

 

Betelgeuse, at a record dim magnitude visually at this time, here looks more normal in brightness, at least brighter than Bellatrix at right, as seen here in red light, as Betelgeuse is a red giant star.

 

I shot this using an Astronomik 12nm clip-in H-alpha filter on the Canon EOS Ra camera, a factory-modified red-sensitive mirrorless camera designed to pick up more of this deep red H-a nebulosity than can a normal camera. As the original image is simply deep red, it is best rendered as a monochrome image. However, this could be combined with colour images to make an enhanced full-colour image.

 

This is a stack of 9 x 8-minute exposures at f/2.2 with the Sigma 50mm lens and Canon EOS Ra at ISO 1600, on the iOptron Sky Guider Pro tracker. Taken before moonrise on February 12, 2020. Stacked, registered and blended with Photoshop 2020. Nik Silver EFX selenium and Luminar Flex Soft Glow filters added for artistic effect, to add a soft blue glow to the image, not red.

 

The temperature was about -15° C this night with a fine chill wind!
