Voigtländer Vito CLR, a 35 mm rangefinder camera with a coupled selenium light meter, tested and working and in very good cosmetic condition from the 1960s.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
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.
KEY FEATURES
Integrated coupled rangefinder for precise manual focusing
Built-in coupled selenium light meter with top-plate and viewfinder visible needles
Equipped with the famous Color-Skopar four-element lens
High-quality Pronto-LK leaf shutter with flash synchronization
Large, bright-line viewfinder with parallax correction markings
Robust West German precision engineering with an elegant chrome finish

CONDITION REPORT
Cosmetic: Very good condition with minor signs of use. The chrome top and base plates are bright, and the leatherette is fully intact.
