Description from the seller
Step back in time with this authentic Vintage Voigtländer Vito Automatic 35mm camera. A true icon of mid-century German engineering, this camera embodies the sleek, streamlined design and mechanical precision that made Voigtländer one of the most respected names in photography. It is a perfect find for collectors, enthusiasts, or as a charming display piece for any vintage-inspired interior.
Key Benefits
Historical Significance: A classic example of the "Golden Age" of West German camera production from the famous Braunschweig factory.
Classic Build: Features a heavy-duty, all-metal body with a satin chrome finish that has stood the test of time.
Collector's Item: Part of the legendary "Vito" series, highly sought after for its reliability and elegant aesthetic.
Vintage Charm: Boasts a beautiful minimalist look with its distinctive large viewfinder and integrated light meter cell.
Features
Camera Type: 35mm fixed-lens viewfinder camera.
Lens: High-quality Voigtländer Lanthar 2.8/50mm lens, known for its excellent color rendition.
Exposure Control: Features an early "Automatic" exposure system powered by a selenium light meter cell (no batteries required).
Shutter: Prontor-Lux shutter mechanism with integrated settings for various lighting conditions.
Viewfinder: Large, bright-line viewfinder for easy framing and composition.
Construction: Robust metal chassis with premium black leatherette covering and a top-mounted accessory shoe.
Condition
Rated 4/5. This camera is in excellent cosmetic condition. The satin chrome top plate and base show only minimal signs of use, with no major dents or deep scratches. The black leatherette is perfectly intact and retains its original texture. The lens glass appears clear and well-maintained. While the mechanical shutter fires and the film advance operates smoothly, the accuracy of the selenium meter and overall functionality are untested. It is sold as a collectible display item.
