Voigtländer Vitoret D
The Vitoret D was introduced circa 1962 as an inexpensive viewfinder camera from Voigtländer, and was replaced in 1966 with a restyled version featuring squarer body corners. This was discontinued in 1971.
A built-in uncoupled selenium meter is included, with a top-plate display. The scale focusing lens offers only three distance settings: 4.5 feet (portrait), 10 feet (group), and 30 feet (landscape), with each setting displayed in the viewfinder. The Vitoret D was offered with two lens options: the Lanthar f/2.8 50mm or the Vaskar f/2.8 50mm, until 1965 when a Color Lanthar f/2.8 50mm became the only version.

Voigtländer Vitoret DR
Early version Voigtländer Vitoret DR image by Denny Narciso (Image rights) |
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].
