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.

My first attempt at shooting this Mill was - or so I thought - spoilt by the lens fogging up toward the end of the exposure so that the star trails softened off and disappeared.
However after a little play and mono treatment with selenium toning I quite like the effect. The small flare from the central bright star works for me and also the mistiness adds some atmosphere. So I am content that I got something out of it!

My darkroom is alive...
Darkroom print on Foma FB 111, selenium toned 1:9 followed by a light sepia (fotospeed). Negative is 6x9 by Royer folder with Angenieux lens. Film: Fomapan 400, developed in Adox Silvermax developer (2nd use) 1:49 for 25 minutes.
Bleach 1:50, toning somewhat complicated because of a lack of re-development. Although I like the tone, I'll try another sepia toner next time (maybe Foma).

Using the selenium meter integrated in the camera.
As I already observed concerning the Contaflex III, which is essentially identical but does not contain a meter: I don't find the lens overwhelmingly sharp but the colour rendering is rather pleasing.

This is my attempt at adding a hue that best matches the results I got when I applied selenium toner to black and white prints.
I used a B+W 091 Dark Red (Wratten#29) filter while taking this image.

Title quoted from Depeche Mode – who else!
I need to photograph more churches. When used correctly, they can hand such an amazing, ghostly, haunting, spiritual atmosphere to photos.
That's especially true for this church: ancient architecture with a few crosses outside. The lighting was perfect that day, very strong and I visited at the right time of day.
I especially like the way the shadows fall on the church's wall. I went for something that looks like what Depeche Mode sounds like (if that makes any sense) and think I did really well.
Coincidentally, it was election day here in Germany. I had just voted, it was a beautiful, warm day, so I decided it was the best time to test out my new wide angle lens that I had recently gotten to replace my (literally falling apart) Sigma 24mm. Very nice and handy little lens!
As a side note: I've finally taken more care in proper easel alignment before starting the darkroom session. Good thing I finally did, it's always a pain to notice off-sized borders/tilted images after the fact. Also, I stole the idea of printing part of the film border in order to create a thin black inner frame from Ludwig Römer, love it! ;)

My latest booklet “Rive Gauche” is available as a standard edition and a special edition with a selenium-toned silver gelatin print: “Musée d’Orsay, 2022” (pictured above). While all of the photographs in the book are portrait orientation, the special edition print—a ‘bonus’ image from the series—is in fact in landscape orientation, available only in an edition of just 60: www.kityoung.co.uk/rive-gauche-special-edition
"Kit Young’s series Rive Gauche is an ode to Paris that unreservedly encapsulates the feeling of being in that city. Even if you’ve never been, you’ll instantly be transported to a little café, watching passersby scurrying about their day.
Much like his predecessors André Kertész and Louis Stettner, Kit Young is a guest to Paris, invited in, time and again, to effortlessly capture the subtle glints of light and life that the city provides..."

Taken some years ago. Early and could winter morning.
I wanted this photo... it had to be snow, full moon and “blue” sky. And the moon had to be in southwest so I could get both the moon and the lighthouse. Had to try tree mornings, and I got my photo!

Scene from the Airport Station Kastrup in Denmark. I was just attracted by the special light there.
Lith printed on Fomatone MG classic and split toned in selenium.
Film: Ilford FP4+, developed in R09 1:25 for 9:00 minutes.
Camera: Yasica-Mat with Lumaxar 3.5/80mm lens.
Darkroom print on Fomabrom 112, toned in selenium 1+19 for a few minutes, followed bt Foma sepia (bleach 20 sec).
Somehow this print reminds me of the fabulous images of native Americans, made by Mr. Curtis. It must be the toning.
