The Vito C is a family of 35mm viewfinder camera made in Germany by Voigtländer. It was a continuation of the Vito line, and followed the Vito B. Vito C cameras were initially produced in a round-ended body style similar to the Vito B, between 1960 & 1967, after which a squarer-ended body was made.[1] The last 2 versions (CS and CSR) were released after the merger with Zeiss Ikon

Variants

Several variations of this camera were made, and there was a Deluxe version of the cameras with small cosmetic differences such as leatherette covered lens barrel, black shutter release, raised chrome name, and film reminder disc with leather in the center:[2]

  • Vito C (1960-67)
  • Vito CD (1961-66) has an uncoupled light meter.
  • Vito CL (1961-67) has a coupled light meter, and the CL Deluxe has a meter needle display in the viewfinder.
  • Vito CLR (1963-68) further adds a coupled rangefinder. The top of the CLR camera has a translucent plastic part beside the accessory shoe illuminating the meter needle in the finder.
  • Vito CS (1968-71) with the square body, coupled light meter and needle display in the viewfinder.
  • Vito CSR (1968-71) adds a coupled rangefinder to the CS

These cameras have either a 50/2.8 Color Skopar of a 50/2.8 Lanthar lens and are equipped with Pronto, Prontor SVS or Pronto-LK shutter with speed ranging form B-1 to 500.

Version by Balda

Around 1980, a series of ABS plastic bodied Vito cameras was introduced, with fold down front, similar to the Minox 35 and made by Balda, also sold as the Balda C series.
