Voigtländer Vito!
The Voigtländer Vito (retrospectively known as the Vito I) was Voigtländer's first-ever 35mm compact folding camera, produced in the pre-war (1939–1940) and post-war (1947–1950) eras.
Specifications
- Design: A pocket-sized folding camera with a bellows mechanism that retracts and protects the lens when closed.
- Lens: Fitted with an uncoated 50mm f/3.5 Skopar (or post-war Color-Skopar) Tessar-type lens.
- Shutter: Pre-war models used a Compur shutter, while post-war versions offered options including Prontor II, Prontor S, and Compur-Rapid.
- Film Transport: Originally designed to take unperforated 35mm film using a feeler spindle/shaft system instead of standard sprocket wheels. This was quickly re-engineered for standard perforated 35mm film due to the outbreak of World War II.
- Distinctive Quirks: Very early pre-war models feature a unique built-in yellow filter that hinges directly over the lens. It also features a film advance mechanism linked to the shutter release, meaning you cannot fire the shutter without advancing the film.
