Voigtländer Vitoret DR

The closely-related Voigtländer Vitoret DR was introduced circa 1964 as an inexpensive rangefinder 35mm camera and was replaced in 1966 with a restyled version featuring squarer body corners. This was discontinued in 1971.

The DR differed only slightly from the D model in that the shutter was the Prontor 300. The 300 stands for the shutter's maximum speed. A coupled rangefinder was included, but the meter was the same as the D's uncoupled version. Most DR's were finished in the normal black leatherette, but a later version featured wood-grain vinyl[1].
