For anyone trying to test one of these without having film: you can manually turn the gear in the back until it clicks. If you try turning the spool and it won't turn, that's a good sign you've cocked the shutter. If it turns, you havent cocked the shutter. You kinda gotta manhandle the gear to get it to turn, but it's doable. If you get one with a slow/sticky shutter, it's possible to try to service it at home and may be worth it if you can find one for cheap. Chris Sherlock has a whole series showing him doing it. Just be VERY careful and take lots of pictures during the process so you don't lose any parts and you know how to put it back together.
Great video. I enjoyed seeing the photo taking process with metering and focusing. I'm super excited to get out and finish my first roll through my Vito B. Thanks!
Hi! Love your video especially the bits where you explain the metering/focusing process. Finally I have a bit of an inkling on how to use the camera. But would love it if you can do a tutorial on the camera setting (especially on ISO, V/X/M, and that dial at the bottom).
Nicely done! I have the same camera with 50mm/2.8. It works since years making excellent pictures. It is my fastest camera. I wish you much fun with it.
Great results well done. I have a vitoret R great condition not had chance to use it yet when I do I record the effort and upload could be a while though as I bought a Rollei 35SE from the same opshop at the same time and that camera looks amazing. Love your relaxed style liked and subbed cheers mate have a great 2022
Subscribed. You have a lot of great content. I have a Vito B along with several other 50’s Voigtlander cameras. They always take great pictures. I think you would like a Bessa I or II 6x9 medium format camera. Voigtlander also made a little accessory rangefinder that clips to the cold shoe.
Thanks for subscribing, great that you like the channel! Yesss we were looking into some folding 6x9 cameras, like the ikon zeiss nettar, the bessa looks very nice as well, thanks for the tip. Cheers!
lol, light meter worth 10-20x more than the camera... but seriously, I use 100 ISO in my old Voigtlanders due to being limited with max shutter of 125 or 300 when wanting to shoot wide open
