Voigtlander Vitessa N - a quirky gem
Thank you for making this video! I picked-up the exact same model at a flea market, and was wondering how it functions. You explained it all perfectly! My camera seems to be in fully functional condition (and is cosmetically nearly mint); the only thing that I've noticed is that the rangefinder split screen is very dim. When focusing, the overlapping image is _very_ faint. The elements seem clear, and there's no dust or fungus or haze or anything. The RF moves properly with the knob, and it's coordinated with the lens moving, but again -- it's hard to see a second image over the VF image, to focus. Are they all like that?
Hi bricology. I'm glad you found the video useful. Actually my rangefinder is reasonably bright. These cameras are quite valuable, it might be worth getting the rangefinder professionally cleaned. Cheers, Howard
Thanks for the review. I’ve just acquired one of these so you talked me through it, camera in hand. One question. I see mine is missing any kind of window on the distance scale of the rangefinder. Should there be one? I’m not going to dive in there to find out. The red window problem is reduced by using Fomapan film and even re rolling Ilford film onto saved Fomapan backing paper. Such bold black print. No obvious number transfer onto images. I do that regularly in the dark bag. Bit of a shuffle back and forth using another 120 spool but worthwhile for the choice of brand. Thanks again.
Hi YY. The little distance window should have a glass protector above the distance scale. Sounds like you have overcome the red window issue. Must be a bit of a challenge changing backing paper in the dark bag, but you have obviously overcome it. Well done! The Perkeo is a lovely camera and I'm sure you're happy with the results. Cheers, Howard
I recently acquired a similar FED 4 as part of a small job lot. I was going to sell it on and just keep the camera that I had originally targeted in the lot. After cleaning it up however, I found that I really liked it and so far, have kept it. It is very solid, and seems better built than the Zorki 4, although I agree that your FED 3 is better looking.
Hi Paul. I've never handled a 4 but I imagine that they are similar in quality to the 3b. I feel that the Russian cameras have had a lot of bad press. There were quality control issues at different times but overall they were good cameras. Enjoy your 4. Cheers, Howard
Hi Howard, nice camera, have the later 5C version that includes a light meter. My favourite is the Fed 2 though I have found problems using Leica lenses on it. Although the Leica lens screws on ok the rangefinder jams and doesn't allow close focus. Think it's something to do with the design of the rangefinder slipper/follower. Leica lenses work fine on my Zorki 4 and 4k so may be I have a bad Fed 2 copy.
Hi Andrew. All I can suggest re the 2 is that there may be a very slight misalignment of the slipper which is causing it to catch on the back of the lens. Or if both surfaces are dry perhaps a very light smear of grease. Good luck. Cheers, Howard
A little clumsy for my liking, Howard. I would have designed it better!
You missed your calling Malc.
Loving all the videos recently Howard! The biggest problem is I’m always on the lookout for these cameras now, I hope I don’t spend too much at the Box Hill camera market this month…
😂Hi lv. I'm hoping to get there as well. I missed the last one, so l need a camera fair hit. Don't spend too much money. Cheers, Howard
Why not make a digital camera just like an old Leica?
An interesting concept!
Nice walkthrough of all the features of this camera. I am familiar with the Zorki 4 quite a bit. I am curious about experiencing something closer to the "barnack" design (bottom loader, old separated viewfinder, smaller, thinner, and lighter body) so I had ordered a Zorki 1 from a trusted repair person. It shipped from Slovakia so it's taking a little while to show up
I think you'll find it an interesting and challenging camera. Have fun. Howard
I finally found one of these Howard. Going to look at it tomorrow. A local seller...100 bucks. It is the VX IIA but it has a meyer optik lens instead of the zeiss. I had to rewatch this video to make sure I knew how to test everything.
That sounds like pretty good value if it's a good one. They're ergonomically challenging but are beautiful cameras. Cheers, Howard
I have been using a Leica IIIG as my main 35mm camera for years. I was just thinking again the other day how I wish I had more bodies because I dislike the lens changing as I do it often. Howard to the rescue introducing me to the perfect option without draining my pocket! The next time the wife goes back to Ukraine I will see if I can talk her into bringing a few back home with her. I look at the cameras I have purchased and thouroughly enjoy from your channel, and realize I never knew most of them even existed. Thanks for another great video Howard.
Hi Christopher, good to hear from you again. Actually I'd recommend a FED 3b for your purposes. Basically the. Same but with lever wind, removable back, speeds from 1 second to 1/500th, diopter adjustment, selt timer and flash sync, combined viewfinder and rangefinder. Still have to cock it before changing speeds. Only drawback if you wear glasses the viewfinder is small and scratchy. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow Thanks for the recommendation. I will look at those. I do struggle with glasses but I have gotten used to it. They did no favors for eyeglass wearers back then!
@@CBortlearts A Zorki 4 (or 4K) may be a good option to. Zorki 4 does not have the lever wind, 4K does. They all have combined view/range finder and removable back. One of their most produced model back then too, so should not be hard to find. Has combined fast and slow shutter speed in the same dial. Means you *really* must follow the advice of never touching the speed before cocking the shutter, as there's 2 times the mechanisms to mess up in there. Nice camera, bit bigger than Zorki 1/Lecia II or III. Also has a flash sync port (they sync at 1/25 for the old speeds then 1/30 at the new ones - and shutter speeds goes to 1/1000) The only caveat if your goal is to use Leica glass on Soviet bodies: they all take the same lenses, but the focusing mechanism are ever so slightly differently adjusted. You may have a small error in focus distance between Leica and Soviet lenses, that error is negligible at 50mm focal, but it scales with the length of the lens
I found a good deal on one. I didn’t really like it that much, the dealbreaker for me is theres no depth of field scale. I like to zone focus a lot of the time and that’s a handy feature to check your zone of focus. I like other rangefinders better, especially my Lord SL and Fujica SE, or Olympus RC when I want something small.
Fair enough, if you zone focus it's not ideal. I've got both the Fujica SE and the Olympus RC both of them are excellent. Cheers, Howard
I do find it funny when other RUclipsrs describe Canonets, Electro 35s etc as "poor man's Leicas". Not even close.
You're quite right of course, but a few cameras got that nickname by matching the photo quality, not the build quality. Cheers, Howard
@howpow Fair point.
I love your videos Howard,
Thanks John. Always nice to receive flattering comments.
Thankyou, Howard ... another learning experience, and I like the "Zorky" name!
Thanks Malc. I knew I could rely on you 😀
Hi Howard, great video, many thanks.
My pleasure Andrew.
Good morning Howard. Ooh these are a rabbit hole to fall down. My uncle passed and I found one of these among his belongings. The low shutter speeds are all buggered. He didn't know about not winding before setting. Another excellent production Howard.
Hi Brian, good to hear from you again. I trust that you're soldiering on as well as possible. I'm getting towards the end of my cortisone course and life is fairly normal. Re the Zorki, it's a nice little camera. The Leica experience without the Leica. Cheers, Howard 😀
@@howpow and decent quality in photos. Yes, I'm plugging along. Thank you for asking. Life will find a way. That's good news Howard. With the intended results I trust?
@@avnostlga I think so. Apparently polymyalga rheumatica usually fades away after about 2 years and the cortisone gets you through it during that time. I'm down to 5 mg from 25 mg at the start and life is pretty normal. So far, so good 👍
@@howpow I'm so glad for you that it is resolving. I don't know anything about P.R. Only R.A. through my girlfriend. Anything Rheumatoid means pain. Seems unending-ly annoying. So, thankful the treatment worked. Age has enough baggage. We don't need more. With spring coming down your way, will symptoms improve after the warmer months arrive?
@@avnostlgaActually I don't think it will make much difference. It doesn't get too cold here in Melbourne, it very rarely gets down to freezing point. Really on the Cortisone my life is virtually pain free. I'm the most flexible I've been in years. I might try to stay on a low dose. I'm very sorry to hear about your girlfriend's R.A. I trust she's managing ok. Cheers, Howard
I just got one off eBay fully refurbished like brand new.
Well done. Lovely cameras.
I've got a Contaflex with the wide angle and 115mm telephoto supplementary lenses. The camera is all working even the selenium meter which is cracked. In the hand it has the heft and quality feel of well engineered kit. I love using the camera particularly with black and white film. The contrast from the 50mm is superb. The 115 feels and looks like a cine lens, and gives excellent results if carefully used. This camera has a timeless feel, in the 50's I used to stare in camera shop windows at these unobtainable masterpieces.
Hi Malcom. You're very lucky to have such a nice setup. They are beautifully made and have that real quality feel. Enjoy!
As you say, it's crazy how these mechanical wonders are so undervalued compared to later models. Good for us, although buying vintage camera bargains is too addictive!
Hi Paul, it's very addictive, that's how I ended up with over 100.
Thanks for the review. The first thing I will consider when selecting a RF is it must have auto parallax compensation build in, the other thing is the lens in use. Since I can not change lens on fixed lens RF camera, the lens in use must suit my needs. I don't think 50mm lens is good for everyday use, my ideal lens to use is 40-45mm range, that covers street shots and head and shoulder portrait while having dinner with friend.
Hi Joe, you should love the lens, 42mm. Can't help with the parallax though. Cheers, Howard
Great video Howard, I picked up the f2.8 model of this a while ago and should be getting my film back from it this weekend. Unfortunately halfway through the roll I realized how far out the rangefinder adjustment was, but luckily most of the shots were in bright conditions with a small f-stop. Hopefully I'll be getting an f1.9 model tonight for a princely sum...
Hi lv. Mine are both the f2.8 versions, so I envy you the F1.9, pretty rare I'm told. My rangefinders are both Ok, however I tried googling how to adjust them with little success. I'm not sure but I think if you remove the screw to the left of the viewfinder looking from the front, that will expose the horizontal adj screw. I think the vertical adj screw is under the cold shoe. Have fun. Cheers, Howard
i’m a little confused on what setting to put it on, on my film it says 400 speed and 135 - 36 exposure do you know what setting i should put it on? i don’t think the auto setting works on my camera because the film real doesn’t move with it on
Hi Jasmine. A couple of questions here. The 400 is the film speed asa/iso. The 135 is simply saying that that it's 35mm film. The 36 exposures is the length of the film. The auto setting will require the correct battery but the camera still requires you to wind the film on manually, only the light metering is automatic. It might be worth taking it to a good camera shop to run you through how it works. Cheers, Howard
Local camera shop is having a sale and I got this for $30! Thanks for the video, it was very helpful!
Glad to be of help. These are very nice cameras. Cheers, Howard
How to remove the bottom plate? I removed the screws and the handle but it won't come off
Hi, if I remember correctly there are 2 screws under the leatherette around the tripod mount.
@@howpow Thank you,I just successfully removed it!
I've just had a number 1 version of this camera delivered to me today, which I bought. I love how good these things look and I think I'm going to collect all of the different models. At least the ones that except the use of a cable release on the shutter button, as in my eyes the quality isn't the same on some, due to the f-stop hole being square and not round for some reason. Going to do some photos to judge the lens quality soon. Does anyone have any experience on using the cameras with square aperture and what if any, any benefits they bring to the final photograph. Regards, James
Hi James. I think that you will be impressed with the lens quality. As for the models with the square aperture, I'm not aware of those. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow Hi Howard, I've just dug into my cameras and found the little square apertured Voigtlander, It's a Voigtlander Vitoret F. It's definitely square at f8, 3x2 at f11, and 3x1 at f22. Lower f stops like f5.6,f4 and f2.8 it turns into a 4 sided diamond shape. I don't think it a faulty camera, maybe a faulty design. I got it 2 weeks ago but I've been waiting on some cartridge film loaders before I ordered some bulk film as I haven't used film in 30 years. I think it will be interesting to see how it performs. One good thing I've noticed, as it has a black plastic shutter release next to the lens, I was under the impression that you couldn't use a cable release on it, but just looking at it again there's a hole for one underneath the lower part of the button. I got the camera with 18 camera for £20, it was one of the good ones of the bunch. I like it more with the cable release threaded hole discovery. Regards, James
@@PeckhamHall Hi James, sounds like you're having fun. I'm sure the shutter is fine. I just remembered, the famous Olympus Trip camera has a diamond aperture and it took great photos. Good luck with your renewed film adventures. Howard 📸
I have zero knowledge about cameras and I have one of these m5 my dad gave it to me and I think it’s lenses are cracked but I’m not sure and that green light doesn’t work (I don’t know if it’s broken or not maybe it’s just a battery problem). Should I take this to some sort of service? Would this worth to spend money on?
It's probably worth taking it to a good camera store and getting their opinion. They weren't a very desirable model so not worth spending much money on. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow thanks a lot sir!
@@Lifeismorethanlittlethings Hi Ash, glad to be of help. Howard 📸

Another great informative video my friend. You are the KING of film cameras! I have had this on my list for years. Lots out there, but I have yet to see and try one. One day.
Hi SN. Thanks for your rather extreme praise. A bit over the top but I'll take it. It's probably time to bring the Electro to the top of your list. Cheers, Howard
Great to see another review, Howard!!
Thanks Malc. Sorry Mary interrupted your viewing. lol
Incredible bargain. Just got a virtually mint one for $90 including shipping + a Canon 50mm f1.8 for $140! Leica quality at 1/5-1/10 the price!!!
Wow, you have done brilliantly to buy at those prices. I think that you will really enjoy it. Cheers, Howard
A lovely little attractive camera. Your collection is quite diverse. I appreciate the effort you take to make these videos; and hope you are well. I just found two mercury batteries in an old light meter of mine. I replaced them in the light meter, so I can use what's left of their charge in a Rollei 35. Wish we lived closer, I lend it to you to review.
Hi Brian, good to hear from you again. I'm going very well thanks, how are you managing. My collection is rather diverse, whatever caught my eye at the time. I've still got 4 of the old mercury button batteries which are still holding their 1.35 volts. I have no idea how old they are, it's amazing how they hold their charge. Sounds like you going out to shoot some film. Keep well. Howard
@@howpow Howard, it's been a challenge. Seems there's been more downs than ups, lately; but I carry on. I need to find a new lab to process my film. The lab located closest to my home, I've decided is not worth the paper they print on. Upon finding a new lab I will be out photographing again, health permitting. Glad you are well.
@@avnostlga Hi Brian, sorry to hear that you are having such a battle with your illness. All I can say is hang in there as best you can and make the most of the better days. Best wishes. Howard
@@howpow Thank you for the encouragement. Its a day by day thing with MS. The heat is coming as we move into summer here in California. Heat fatigue allows me to be out early or late. Often during the best lighting times for photography. I'm excited about that; and finding a new lab. Do you process film at home? I've been considering doing that again.
@@avnostlga Hi Brian. I only shoot B&W these days and process at home. Good old Rodinal. I've got an old Canon scanner that also uses masks for 35mm strips or 120 strips. It works pretty well. I very rarely get anything printed. Cheers, Howard
Hi Howard, never owned a Yashica Electro, looks a nice camera. I'd heard of the pad of death but never knew how to check for it. Many thanks for the explanation.
Hi Andrew, the pad of death was really their only weak point. All three of mine are still in good condition but obviously that's not always the case. These are great cameras. Cheers, Howard
I didn't realise that these were sold until about 1980. As someone born in 1975, it makes it seem almost modern! I also didn't know about the "H" for Hong Kong production. I'll have to check mine. Thanks for the info.
My pleasure, seems like a good time to put a film in it and go for a walk. Cheers, Howard
Thanks Howard, always very informative, I sold my black GTN ages ago as it just seemed too big to carry around but it was a lovely camera to use - especially compared to the Yashica Minister III with it's selenium meter. Maybe I should get another one! I'd never realised the red and orange arrows on the lens of the electro directly related to the exposure lights but it seems so obvious now!
Hi Mathew. I'm glad you found the video informative. I also have a Minister III, but I've never put a film through it. I'm thinking of doing a group review of my three different Minister models. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow I'd find a group review of yashica Ministers interesting - but I've enjoyed all your videos so far, so do what interests you!
@@aiherzen Hi Matthew. I have a few Ministers. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the idea. Howard
good to see you back again howard..
Thanks Gordon.
Just got this camera and am soooooo appreciative of this video.
Thanks very much, I'm glad that you found it useful. Cheers, Howard
Thank you very much for this video! I have this camera at home and was hoping to take some pictures with it. I have no idea if it works or how to even insert the film, but I will try to figure it out - This video was very helpful! English is not my native language and I know nothing about cameras so there was one thing I didn't really understand - The first circle where the numbers go from 1,1 to infinity is that how far away the object is? So if it is at 2,5 the person (or thing) I want to be in focus has to be 2,5 meters away? Or did I misunderstand it? Thank you so much again! Really enjoyed the video 😃😃
Hi Amelie, you have understood that correctly, however I suggest you take it to a good camera store to make sure it works correctly before putting film through it. Good luck, Howard
@@howpow Thank you very much 😃
Very interesting video. Thank you.
I'm glad you got something from it. Cheers, Howard
I just got the Vitomatic II a with the f 2.8 lens. Thank you for teaching me how to use it. I thought I was broken but you said that it needs film for the shutter to work
Enjoy your IIa, they are a lovely little camera. Cheers, Howard
Mine has very blurry vague split image in RF fucusing zone. is it easy for expirienced repair shop to fix?
Yes a camera repairer should be able to correct this problem relatively simply.
Son comparaciones valederas pero leica es una sola a través del tempo y sigue como si nada
Very true,
Now all these Cameras are unuseful, because film is not available in market, now the digital age.
Not true, a good range of both B&W and colour films are available. Film is making a comeback, however temporary.
I winded it manually and it fired once, but when I tried again the shutter stopped firing, even though it's not stuck and I can wiggle it a little, but it won't fire so I can cock it again. Any ideas?
These cameras need a film loaded to work properly, but you can fool them by opening the back and manually progressing the film mechanism by turning the silver toothed film advance roller until it stops rotating. Now cock the shutter if necessary and it should work. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow I did that but it got stuck (wasn't able to cock it again). I kept wigging the shutter lever and it moved eventually. Hopefully that doesn't happen after I put film in. Now to clean the green grease, the focus wheel is cemented in place
@@Zack-xz1ph If the shutter isn't already cocked and the little lever won't move to the left (looking from the rear), I suspect something in the shutter mechanism is broken.
@@howpow yeah there's definitely something wrong. I'll have to get another one
@@Zack-xz1ph Try to make sure everything works properly before you buy it.
I have one just like it, the only problem is that the release button doesn't work!I It will not click! Unable to advance the lever... can you help me?
Hi, all I can suggest is that you find a good camera store who should be able to direct you to a repairer who could give you a quote to get it working. Good luck. Howard
Just picked up a wonderfully clean IIIA with the 50mm 1.8 Hexanon lens. It really is a work of engineering art.
Hi LV. I believe that the IIIa was the pinnacle of Konica's 35mm cameras. Some of the later models were excellent but the overall quality couldn't match the earlier ones. Enjoy. Howard
In the 1950s, Agfa cameras were sold in the US following an older cooperation of Agfa with Ansco. Solinettes would be rebranded "Ansco Regent" and "Super Regent" respectively. The Solinette was not Agfa´s top of the line, the Karat was (faster lenses, lever winder instead of knob). Ca. 1954 came the Silette/Ansco Memar as successor of the Solinette/Regent (fixed lense).
Hi Zebulon. Thanks for the comment. A lot of good information in there. Cheers, Howard
@@howpow Howard, you´re welcome. I looked up your video because I just bought one Solinette similar to your´s for comparison. Thanks!
Great little instructional! I just bought one, and just wanted to check out the various settings without sacrificing film in doing so, and this video hit the spot.
Hi Danie, glad you found the video useful. Cheers, Howard
