The production of this camera start 'in 1974 in the German plants of Rollei and was then almost immediately transferred to Singapore in an effort to contain costs manufacturing and groped to counter the competition from Japan. The VSL1 is nothing more than the Zeiss Ikon SL706 produced with glorious Voigtlander brand just purchased. The first version was called TM M42 for the attack on the targets while the second, named BM and recognized by the V VSL less stylized, used a Rollei bayonet. Obviously
rare and expensive models are produced in Germany under the name "made in Germany by Rollei. Piu 'common other with the words" made in Singapore.
was produced in about 1,150,000 copies and you can 'be considered quite successful especially for the first series (850,000 pieces from '74 to '76 in black or chrome), even if the second (300,000 pieces from the '75 to '79 in black only) had a much wider range of objectives that will be compatible with all other VSL.
Currently my collection consists of:
VSL 1 TM nr 1 nr 1
black chrome VSL 1 TM
nr 1 1 BM VSL black
