Description from the seller
Splendid 35mm Voigtländer Vito B analog camera produced in Germany in the 1950s, a true jewel of vintage mechanical engineering renowned for its compactness and the exceptionally high build quality. The body presents in excellent cosmetic condition, featuring a shiny, clean chrome upper cap where the elegant engraving of the brand and model name stands out, paired with a black, embossed faux-leather covering perfectly preserved. The camera mounts a prestigious Color-Skopar 50mm fixed lens with a maximum aperture of f/3.5, famous for its incredible sharpness and color rendition in the early post-war color photographs, integrated into a Prontor-SVS focal-plane shutter with gleaming metal rings for smooth adjustment of speeds and apertures. This rich collectible lot is enhanced by a series of original coordinated accessories that significantly increase its market value. At the back rises the shaped protective case in brown rigid leather, original and branded Voigtländer, equipped with its strap and preserved in excellent structural condition with a splendid vintage patina. Beside it is present a dedicated circular brown leather case that houses an original funnel-shaped metal lens hood bearing the classic emblem of the German house, completed by a 32mm UV protective filter also with a chromed finish. The entire set represents an extraordinary opportunity for both the most demanding collectors of the Braunschweig brand and for lovers of analog photography seeking a vintage kit ready to display or to use.
