Voigtlander Vitomatic I (1958-59)

I picked this little guy up as a gift. It’s a super fun camera to shoot. It has a perfectly functioning meter, PC sync so it can be used with flash or Pocket Wizard, and even came with the lens hood. It’s equipped with the fine Color Skopar 50mm F/2.8 lens, which is very contrasty and has reasonably shallow depth of field. Focusing can be a bit of a pain in the tuckus, as it does not have a coupled rangefinder. Look at the subject, guess, and set the lens. Usually I load this bad boy with higher speed film, allowing me to shoot at a higher f-stop (giving me more depth of field).
