Cigarette Smoke Hurts My Eyes

Voigtlander Vitomatic Automatic

This series of Voigtlander produced in 1957 took over the lines of Vito B .

The shutter button was indeed located above the upper plate. The model
Vitomatic I only had the exposure to selenium with the indicator with a needle placed next to the button, the Vitomatic II instead gave the opportunity to read the meter from the viewfinder and
also mounted on the unit.

since 1960 were put into production Vitomatic Ia and IIa Vitomatic entirely analogous the previous but with the improved shutter: it goes from 1-300 to 1-500. The model also IIa There was also a target of 2-50 Ultron Color Skopar much better than the 2.8 to 50 mounted by other machines.

In 1965 the Vitomatic are almost completely redesigned. Come on the market Vitomatic Ib, IIb and IIIb. The shutter release button is moved to the side of the camera as in Vito C recovering obviously the form. The front near the viewfinder and totally changes the message Vitomatic is placed over this area instead of on the top plate where there is now only the slide of the flash. The model
Vitomatic Ib has the exposure to selenium, but the indicator is now only visible from the viewfinder, model IIb differed by the presence of the unit while the model IIIb was quite similar system but with the lens that made Ultron the top of the range.

last version is the CS series produced since 1967. Very similar but with the exposure of the latest generation (CDS) no more selenium.
For this you have the Vitomatic Ics with only the exposure, the Vitomatic IIcs with meter and rangefinder and Vitomatic IIIcs equal to IIcs but with Ultron lens.
From 1957 to 1971 were produced a total of about 560,000 cars even if actually they were more than 400,000 of the first and second series.
