I won a Vitomatic I on eBay for $11.50, an absolute jewel with a box proclaiming "Voigtlander 1757-1957". The camera is about 50 years old, but everything is working, and working well. Let's hear it for Prontor shutters and selenium light meters.
Here is a link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190226667921&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009
Pictures from the first roll follow.

The stree painting festival was this weekend and it is always a great place for pictures.
The following pictures were on an old roll of Superia 200, using the settings from the very nice coupled selenium meter.
It's a very stealthy camera. I took two frames of the two women from 4 feet away and they didn't notice.

The best camera is one that still works!
Lovely colours in your shots. I bought a Vito CLR a while ago off eBay for about $25.00 which also has the Color Skopar lens and was blown away the first time I used it.
They're a homely little beast but really are a very good camera ... mine has the front mounted shutter button which can be a little weird at first!

Cool! Love the shots. I picked up a Vitoret off the bay about a month ago for $12.00 with the shipping. Sweet little cameras. I carry mine about quite a bit.

They are quite a surprise for an FSU enthusiast aren't they?
From the same era as some of the FEDs and Zorkis, they are amazingly well made.

Well I don't have any FSU cameras, except for one plastic Smena 6, but the Voigtlander is pure German engineering.
It's a little jewel. The finish and detailing is beautiful, and even better looking than a Zeiss Contina II which I recently purchased.
The next roll of film will be thru the Contina. Both shutters appear to be just fine! Pretty good for a 50 year old camera that has probably never been serviced. Let's hear it for Prontor shutters.
