Voigtländer Vitoret D

The Voigtländer Vitoret D, introduced around 1962, is a budget-friendly 35mm viewfinder camera designed for simplicity and ease of use. This model was updated in 1966 with a restyled body featuring squarer corners and remained in production until 1971.

Key Features:

• Light Meter: An uncoupled selenium meter with a top-plate display helps guide exposure settings, adding a touch of precision to this straightforward camera.
• Lens & Focusing: Equipped with a scale-focusing lens, the Vitoret D offers three preset distances—portrait (4.5 feet), group (10 feet), and landscape (30 feet)—visible in the viewfinder. Early models offered a choice of Lanthar f/2.8 50mm or Vaskar f/2.8 50mm lenses, while later models featured the Color Lanthar f/2.8 50mm lens exclusively.
• Flash Compatibility: Includes an accessory shoe for attaching an external flash.
