Vito Automatic F and R

The Vito Automatic F was produced by Voigtländer in the mid-1960's. There is very little information available for this model and is believed to have been an alternate version of the Vito Automatic I due to the fact that it appears in a footnote of the 1964 ad for the Vito Automatic I.
