35mm Voigtländer Prominent |
The Voigtländer Prominent is a leaf shutter rangefinder camera featuring interchangeable lenses, certainly the first of this type.[1] It was introduced by German manufacturer Voigtländer in 1950, in competition with Leicas and Contaxes, and withdrawn in 1960.
The Prominent was upgraded in 1956 - adding lever wind[2].
The replacement Prominent II was introduced in 1958. This had a redesigned top-plate, and the viewfinder had bright-lines for 35,50,100 and 150mm lenses.
- ↑ According to UK Camera.com. The first 35mm leaf shutter camera with interchangeable lenses was the 1947 Akarette by Apparate & Kamerabau, but it has no rangefinder.
