Voigtlander Vitessa L Outfit - 2/50 Ultron

Voigtlander Vitessa L Outfit – 2/50 Ultron

·        I couldn’t believe this great outfit was still at an estate sale the 2^nd day. A friend of mine told me he saw a Voigtländer camera there with a fairly high price.  Voigtländer made some so-so cameras, but this is one of the greats.

·        Beautiful Barn Door Vitessa 35mm Range Finder Camera.

·        Circa 1954 - 56

·        Based on the sunny 16 rule for approximating exposure, the meter is right on.

·        Voigtlander Ultron 1:2 50mm lens in Synchro Compur shutter.

·        Glass looks great inside and out. Please do not ask questions about the glass, this statement covers it.

·        Shutter works well. However. When I got it, it was sluggish and/or hung up below 1/30, working fine at B. With exercise it works well.

·        There is a screw that connects the shutter release on the shutter with the mechanism attached to the shutter release button on top. I don’t know why it was working, but after firing it a few times while preparing this description, it stopped. The shutter fires fine, but the connection between the two mechanisms disappeared. There is a screw in the hole of the internal part, and it aligns with the hole seen in the photographs in the shutter release on the shutter.  I took the screw out to see if it would work by screwing it through the front hole, it doesn’t. I put it back, and the shutter release lever keeps it in place. A small bolt and nut will solve the problem.

·        Cosmetically the camera shows almost no use. There are a few light specks on the leather covering. About five minor dots of black ink will make it look perfect. (we can say five tiny dots of black ink made it look near perfect). No dings, dents or scratches.

·        Range Finder is bright, clear, has excellent contrast and is perfectly aligned.

·        The small leather case hold a lens hood and two filters: yellow 133/22 G2 and 133/29 UV. All in excellent condition.

·        The large Case is a flash unit designed for use with Vitessa Cameras.  The reflector shows some age. I don’t have a no. 412 battery with which to test it. There is no retaining screw with it.

·        The box show wear and has  two separated corners.

·        As you can see, all leather cases are in excellent condition.

Every item is sold as-is, subject to my description. If it is delivered as described, you may not return it for a refund if you decide you don't like it.

I am not the Post Office, nor am I an insurance company. e-bay considers every package insured and will not allow me to give you the choice. The shipping charge often includes the cost of insurance. The vast majority of items arrive in the same condition in which they were sent.

International packages generally require insurance unless they have a very low value. The usually means Priority Mail.
