Voigtland Vito B

[ahayward]

I have a newly acquired Vito B and notice that there are green numbers indicating that it may be able to carry out long exposures without the need for a cable release. I don't seem to be able to obtain them, am i just being stupid, or are these just not possible to use? Any help?

Could you please be more specific? Where precisely are are those green numbers you mention?
My Vito B has no green numbers anywhere...

Joao

the numbers are on the lens to the right of the Bulb function if you are looking down on the camera

The numbers in green to the right appear to be second based time values, as if you could free set long exposures

The green numbers on the right seem to indicate time values in seconds

"The shutter speed ring has green figures to indicate speeds which are not available automatically; for these speeds the shutter should be set to "B". "

Cheers, was hoping they were obtainable, but never mind, shutter release and counting is as good as any
