Voigtlander Vitoret L
Are you a professional photographer? No matter your answer, everyone deserves good tools in their camera bag. And in the "good tools" category, Voigtlander's cameras certainly qualify. From the time Voigtlander built the first metal camera body in the 1840s, the German company has delivered impressive cameras that help photographers at all levels produce great images. In 1964, Voigtlander introduced the Vitoret L, which sought to combine that company's second-to-none optics in a small, consumer-friendly package.
While small and not overly laden with features, the Vitoret L, with its selenium light meter, Color-Lanthar 50mm f/2.8 lens, and bright viewfinder gives you all the tools you'll need for exceptional photography. The Vitoret's design is simple and functional. Its shutter release button on the front of the body fires a Prontor leaf shutter with speeds up to 1/300th of a second. The leaf shutter means that using a flash is simple and flash sync-ing at different speeds is not an issue.
For focusing, there's a useful distance scale on the barrel of the lens housing with markings for 4 1/2, 11, and 33 feet and also a depth of field indicator. If you want a little more help with nailing focus, try the Vitoret LR released in 1966 that has a coupled rangefinder along with all of the great qualities of the original Vitoret.
In short, the Vitoret makes producing images as enjoyable as looking at them later. And when the professional admires your images, just nod, agree, and say proudly, "Yep, I shoot Voigtlander."
