AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction: a prestigious and splendid vintage telemetered compact camera—the Voigtländer Vitomatic II, produced in West Germany between 1958 and 1960. This model represents a real masterpiece of micromechanics and optical engineering from the golden era of German analog photography.
The lot presents in excellent overall condition, with normal and light signs of use consistent with the object's age.
Optics: The lenses appear clean, transparent, and completely free of scratches or traces of mildew and internal fungi. The knurled front ring for aperture selection and manual focus adjustment moves smoothly.
Mechanics: The high-performance mechanical Prontor-SLK focal-plane shutter responds to controls and fires regularly at the various speeds. The integrated rangefinder system in the viewfinder is visible for proper collimation of the double image during focusing. The selenium photocell meter needle reacts to changes in light and the film advance mechanisms via the bottom mount operate correctly.
Aesthetics: Excellent overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The solid metal body preserves the beautiful original satin finish, free of dents or structural impacts, showing only very slight superficial signs from handling on the top and bottom. The black vulcanized leatherette cover wrapping the body is perfectly intact, with no missing pieces or lifting. The top plate and the distinctive engraved logos remain sharp and bright.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured, and professional super-protective packaging to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
