Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa - Tim Irving |
This camera comes with everything I need. A beautiful viewfinder with coupled rangefinder, a fifty one year old light meter that works perfectly, and a Color Skopar lens.
The build quality of this camera is second to none. Every control is smooth and precise, it's a joy. Although not sold as a professional model, this camera was aimed at the affluent tourist, very classy with a rich feel to it, definately a luxury camera.
Of course it's the glass that I'm interested in and the Skopar is up there with the best. As always, there's a sample below, I'll the the photograph speak for itself.

I'm not qualified to comment on the Voigtlander, other than to say it's handsome and I believe whatever you say about it. Your description of any camera usually makes me want said camera. Especially when you say things like "every control is smooth and precise." I know I would like it as even the feel of turning a quality deadbolt lock is a pleasure to me.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is lovely and of beautiful quality. I don't know if this is good or bad news to an artist, but that pic should be in a ritzy holiday brochure.
All your cameras are incredible and very tempting! I'm just trying to save up so I can buy the most suitable one for me. Can't wait! I love following your blog and checking out your store.
