The Voigtländer Vito CLR, produced in Braunschweig, West Germany during the early 1960s, is a premium example of the highly successful Vito series. This model is a sophisticated 35mm viewfinder camera that integrates a coupled rangefinder (the "R" in CLR) and a coupled selenium light meter (the "L"). Renowned for its exceptional build quality and the "crystal clear" bright-line viewfinder, the Vito CLR was designed for the serious amateur who demanded precision and the legendary rendering of Voigtländer optics in a compact, reliable all-metal housing.
