The Taron VL is 35 mm rangefinder camera with a built-in uncoupled selenium meter, introduced in 1959. It was actually the first Taron with a lightmeter. It was available with a Taronar F.C. 45mm/f1.8 or 45 mm/f2.8 lens and Copal SVL shutter to 1/500s. The VL featured an interesting idler geared rewind lever, offset to allow room for the lightmeter.
The Robin Super LM export version was fitted with a Taronar F.C. 45mm/f1.9.
The Taron VR, without lightmeter, used the same chassis as the VL and earlier Taron III with different running gear.
