Here's my Vitomatic IIb:

Excellent camera. Very heavy, for its size. It really is like a Vito B with a meter and rangefinder added to it (and also a different shutter and front-mounted shutter release).

Note the photos of the three model shown so far in this thread. After the Vitomatic IIa the styling went a bit 'sixties'. It was the sixties, after all. Too much plastic in my opinion, a bit like contemporary car interiors. I prefer the earlier models, again just my opinion.

You're right Philip. But then again, they all have their individual appeals in my opinion.

Go ahead - it´s a work horse. Used a IIa for my carry everywhere camera for several years. Just took it out of the display cupboard about half a year ago and shot a birhtday party with it. It had been on display for some 10 years but still worked great. The lens is amazing, just don´t use it fully open - it´s not that sharp at 2.8 but from 4 and up, you´ll get great results.

Happy shooting
