Voigtlander Vitomatic 1 with boxes, leather case and manuals $90

The camera is a thing of beauty from European craftsmanship of years ago. The lens is a Color Skopar 50mm f2.8

This set is in great shape.

This camera came from my friend who cleaned out his father's house and found many antiques. I think this must have been one is his prized possessions because he kept the boxes, manuals and even the receipt. It was purchased in 1958 at Universal Photo Service, La Crosse, Wisconsin for $89.95 according to the receipt.

The camera has some quirky features. To change the film, there is not a door that swings open, but a two-part back. The camera was built to avoid double exposures, but his also results in the that the shutter will not release if there is no film in the camera. This point baffled me for a while, but I finally READ THE MANUAL AND learned about this feature. So I loaded a roll of film and then YES, the shutter release worked fine.

The leather case is nice and soft. GERMANY is stamped on the bottom. There is a tiny rectangular plastic item in the case. It took me a long time to figure out what it could be. Well, it is a cover for the sellinum cell on the front of the camera. The accessory is a Blitzer 200 for flash photography with flash bulbs. This has a little zipper case and a box. This is a nice camera set.
