  1. <p>Picked up a Voigtlander Vitessa A (4) in fair shape....cheap....and the only thing seemingly wrong with it (without actually taking pics) is the rangefinder function in the viewfinder is gone. Meaning, no "diamond" and no double image. But while turning the focussing wheel, the lens/bellows assembly does move back and forth in the proper manner (as far as relative positioning....dont know if it's exact tho). I've heard these <br />Vitessa "barn door" cams are a pain to work on. So, I'm hesitant to do my normal and just dig in, rip it apart, and figure out if it's fixable.........especially seeing as I probably will be able to focus reasonably well just using the distance numbers on the focus wheel.</p> <p>Any opinions, or help on the issue? No, I'm not paying to get it repaired. It's cool enough just sitting on the shelf with the "barn doors" open and the occasional shooting tries...............f/8 and 15 ft will get a pic in focus no matter what.....heh</p>
