After the near disaster with the first roll I ran through my Vito B post CLA (I opened the camera with the film not rewound), I put another roll in it, and headed out to Troutville, VA to shoot some winter scenery. Apple Orchard Road is pretty neat, so I stopped by the apple barn to get some shots of all the crates piled up around the building. Then some shots along the railroad, continuing up to Stoney Battery Road, where the high trestle is.
Then, the machine at the pharmacy I usually go to tore half the roll off, and I only got 20 exposures out of the 38 I took (that short lead on the Vito always gives you at least one extra shot, and if you're really good, it will give two). All the shots of the apple barn are gone. I had to salvage the first one of what was left of the roll , but the rest are as they were scanned. Let me know what you think.

This is the first exposure that came after the film got ripped in half at the pharmacy. There is a lot of damage to the negative, not to mention the light strike on the bottom. But this can be saved.

After a bit of touch-up and cropping, we now have a decent image.

This is at the closest focus of 3 to 3.5 feet. Not sure what it is exactly, as the lens barrel will rotate beyond the 3.5 mark.

Left there to aggravate the deer, perhaps?

The black vultures (colloquily known as buzzards) like to roost on the trestle until the sun warms them up. Or a train comes by.

so the distance mark is in "feet"?
all my Voigtlanders are marked in metric...

Yes, the US market ones were done in feet.

Just get one of the old German rangefinders marked in meters. I passed on a Widor the other day because I have one in feet, and it went pretty cheap. The Voigtlander rangefinders though are quite desired, so they go for a bit more.

i bought a Ideal rangefinder months ago...not aware it is in feet which is not much use to me... (and the make is too plastic-que)
i am spying on a Rangefinder in metric for awhile
but yes it is much more expensive.

The "Ideal" rangefinder is not high on my list of something I would ever buy again. The first good one I got was a DeJur. It has some kind of miniature accessory foot, and someone told me it might fit on a couple of Kodak models. But it has a nice fabric neckstrap, and came with the original leather case. I was using it with the Vito B because I had a Kontur finder mounted.
