Voigtlaender Vitomatic IIa - some shots

[machts gut]

<p>I couldn't resist buying one. My first camera was a Vitrona. The Vitomatic is a lovely cam.</p><div></div>

<p>THose are great photos, I really like #2 and 3 the most.</p>

Yeah I know the feeling.. I couldn't resist.. I keep telling my wife this too.. Your B&W work looks really good.

I like the tone of black you're getting here. I assume you're relatively open here in the shade 5,6. Very sweet

response from this Color Skopar? I assume. Keep mum. these things are so well made! Plentiful and still

reasonable. Great performers too in the right hands! .....irresistible, you fool, give in!...Give in!...Give in!

<p>Stefan, what lovely photographs. The delightful sepia tone works well for this subject matter. Thanks for posting these.</p>

<p>Well done. These have a fairy tale quality about them. The Vito series never dissapoint! Glad you're having a bit of fun.</p>

[Andy Collins]

<p>Very nice photos, Stefan. Like Russ said, they have a fairy-tale look to them that suits the subject well, and the sepia tone does indeed work nicely. The lens looks like a good one!</p>

<p>Very nice photos Stefan, love the glow and the expression of the child; you have a good eye and it clearly shows here. Do you have the skopar or an Ultron in this Vitomatic?</p>

[david_mcewan]

<p>Stefan, so pleased to see photos taken with a Vitomatic. Aren't they a pleasure to use. I have a 11a and a 11 cs, both fitted with the Color Skopar 2.8. I also have a 1958 Prominent with the Ultron f2 . The 3 cameras are in mint condition.<br>

In addition to taking photos with them, quite often I will take them out of their cases for the pleasure I get from their look, feel and obvious craftmanship - something I never do with my digital point and shoot or dslr. </p>

<p>Great shots....I can never understand why the Vito's are so cheap to buy.....terrific cameras, and the Skopar is probably the best of the Tessar clones.</p>

<p>From my experience, many seller on ebay think the shutter is broken as they don't realise they need a film in place to cock the shutter.</p>

<p>I have bought a Vito B and a Vitomatic II for next to nothing because of this. </p>

<p>The compactness of the Vito B due to its lack of rangefinder and meter makes it a great little camera to carry around.</p>

[machts gut]

<p>Thanks for the compliments. I had a very relaxed day with my daughter and the Vitomatic. Here's a photo of the camera. It's in a really excellent condition. Even the light meter is quite reliable.</p><div></div>

<p>Lovely! Like 1 & 3 - great composition!</p>

<p>The Camera is but the extention of the photographer and how he use's it : Job well done !</p>

<p>Stefan, #1 is nice except for the broken rule of <em><strong>never cut off at the joints</strong></em>, that becomes my distraction in that image. Otherwise, keep up the good work!</p>
