I recently acquired a mint condition Vito CLR that the shutter sticks at 1/15. All other speeds sound ok but I haven't tested the accuracy of the speeds yet. Is there a good source for repair information or a factory repair manual download online? Also the meter doesn't appear to be working but I can use a handheld meter for now, but I'd like to repair it while I have it apart if possible.

Vito B | Der Auslöser funktionierte nicht

Mir wurde eine Vito B geschenkt, die fast 30 Jahre nicht benutzt wurde.

Die Kamera ließ sich nicht auslösen. Nachfolgend habe ich beschrieben wie sich der Fehler beheben ließ:

Ich bin kein Kamerafeinmechaniker!
Daher kann ich nicht sagen, dass es bei anderen Vitos auch so funktioniert.

Viel Spaß :-)

Self timer + Bulb jam!

Hi.

Some time ago I set my shutter on B and released the self timer by accident.
As you might know, this causes the shutter to jam up and this happened to me as well.

Does anyone here know of a guide to fix the problem? Did you get it repaired yourself once? Do you know have to do it?

Really hope you can help me out. I really like my Vito CLR and I only got to take 2 films with it before this disaster struck.

Thanks a lot.

OK, rant over - just got one for £23.99 including postage, which is a fraction of I'd have to pay for one with the L-word on it. I can live with that.

On with the Voigtlander chat!

Feel free to moderate, I just need to blow off a bit of steam.

Some years ago our local Oxfam had a Voigtlander Kontur viewfinder in one of their £1 boxes. I picked it up, but thought better of it as I had no use for it, and put it back down again.

Now that I've been given a Leica MDa, which has no viewfinder (it's a microscope camera), that Kontur would be really, really handy with the Jupiter 8 I've been lent to test it.

Looking on ebay today for any sort of accessory viewfinder, I've realised how much they go for these days.

GRRRR!

OK: Firstly, it's a rectangle, not a square. 35mm film format is generally 36mm x 24mm and the Vito C is no exception. ;) Secondly, the frame lines denote the area to be imaged. But note the instructions in the manual when composing photos at distances under approximately 6 feet.

Yes I've seen the manual, it doesn't mention the inside frame. At least not the Vito C one.
