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 and Vitomatic. The body style was changed, film was loaded by opening the back without need to open the bottom, the camera could fire without film and the shutter was placed in the front of the camera instead than on top.[1] 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.[2] The last 2 versions (CS and CSR) were released after the merger with Zeiss Ikon
