For anyone trying to test one of these without having film: you can manually turn the gear in the back until it clicks. If you try turning the spool and it won't turn, that's a good sign you've cocked the shutter. If it turns, you havent cocked the shutter. You kinda gotta manhandle the gear to get it to turn, but it's doable. If you get one with a slow/sticky shutter, it's possible to try to service it at home and may be worth it if you can find one for cheap. Chris Sherlock has a whole series showing him doing it. Just be VERY careful and take lots of pictures during the process so you don't lose any parts and you know how to put it back together.
Great video. I enjoyed seeing the photo taking process with metering and focusing. I'm super excited to get out and finish my first roll through my Vito B. Thanks!
Hi! Love your video especially the bits where you explain the metering/focusing process. Finally I have a bit of an inkling on how to use the camera. But would love it if you can do a tutorial on the camera setting (especially on ISO, V/X/M, and that dial at the bottom).
Great results well done. I have a vitoret R great condition not had chance to use it yet when I do I record the effort and upload could be a while though as I bought a Rollei 35SE from the same opshop at the same time and that camera looks amazing. Love your relaxed style liked and subbed cheers mate have a great 2022
Nicely done! I have the same camera with 50mm/2.8. It works since years making excellent pictures. It is my fastest camera. I wish you much fun with it.
Subscribed. You have a lot of great content. I have a Vito B along with several other 50’s Voigtlander cameras. They always take great pictures. I think you would like a Bessa I or II 6x9 medium format camera. Voigtlander also made a little accessory rangefinder that clips to the cold shoe.
Thanks for subscribing, great that you like the channel! Yesss we were looking into some folding 6x9 cameras, like the ikon zeiss nettar, the bessa looks very nice as well, thanks for the tip. Cheers!
lol, light meter worth 10-20x more than the camera... but seriously, I use 100 ISO in my old Voigtlanders due to being limited with max shutter of 125 or 300 when wanting to shoot wide open
Very helpful that you, for each photo, mention the shutter speed and aperture you are shooting with. Thanks for the upload!

Your video helps me a lot to know how to use mi Vito in an appropriate way. Thank you.
I love shooting with my Vito B. When I get lucky, it has an amazingly sharp lens.
Love your video! I had just bought a voigtlander vito BL and this really helped me, thank you!!💗
this is a very well built camera and the lens is super sharp!
It indeed is. It feels great in the hands, easy to use and the photos were much better than we expected!
You’re good..you know what you’re doing, crunchy pictures!!

Good mathematical skills for a biologist. Impressive.
Lol, sometimes it’s just practice hahaha
Subbed
super! welcome to The Crunch!

You should learn to shot without light meter. It's possible. You'll be able to shot wonderful pictures.
I hope to learn one day after a lot of practice, it would be very handy. thanks for passing by!
Great video! May I ask what that spot meter is you are using here?
It’s called “Pentax digital spot meter” sorry for the late reply
