My late husband bought this Voigtlander Vitessa sometime around 1953. I know this because I recall him carrying it in the pocket of his leather jacket while he was courting me, which was in 1954. And he would have bought it when he got out of the military in 1953. Just before our wedding in 1955 we went shopping for a more “modern” camera, and he bought an Exakta, which is what he brought along on our honeymoon (and later gave to our daughter). This camera has been in a box of his things since he passed 20 years ago, but I doubt that he used it after about 1960 (he was very happy with the Exakta, but then moved on to a more modern camera every 5 years or so). I don’t know what happened to this camera’s box, paperwork, etc. I presume he threw it away decades ago. He taught me how to use some of his cameras, and I remember enough to be able to take a close look at this one, but please bear in mind that I am NOT an expert. If you have questions, please ask! You probably know more than I do about the camera model, but it’s a Vitessa model N, which I see came out in the early-1950s. It is famous for the “barn doors” that cover the lens, which is the Color-Skopar f3.5/50mm version. When you press down on the shutter release button, the film advance plunger pops up and the barn doors open, allowing the lens-board to be pulled out and snap into position. To advance the film, you press down on the plunger. It has a focusing wheel that’s operated by the right thumb and that moves both the lens board and the coupled rangefinder. There is a cold flash shoe, and a flash sync jack (?) on the right “barn door”. To close the barn doors, you pull them a little wider which releases the lens-board, and it will retract as you close the doors. Pretty nifty system! Cosmetically, the camera is BEAUTIFUL. My husband took very good care of his things. It literally looks like it’s less than a year old. There are NO dings. NO brassing. NO scratches. There are only five things I can point out: 1. There is some VERY minor wear to the outside top and bottom edge surfaces of the black leather covering of the “barn doors”. Not even scuffing the leather, just wearing-off the black finish. I think that some black shoe polish on a Q-tip would return this to brand-new.2. There is some corrosion to the flash sync jack. This could, no doubt, be cleaned-off, if wanted.3. There is some very minor paint loss to the black painted metal around the lens, that seems to just have happened from environmental causes, rather than from wear or anything else.4. There is some very minor surface wear to the film path and the black paint on the mating surfaces of the back and body, just as one would expect to find in any film camera. 5. Some of the chrome plated parts on the top have some wear or flaking — notably, the sides of the shutter release shaft and the sides of the shoe. This seems to be a common problem with these cameras. As for the mechanical condition: the camera seems to function as intended. I have not run any film through it, so I can’t speak with certainty, but I don’t see anything amiss. The barn doors open and close properly. The film advance plunger advances the film take-up roller. The turn-button on the bottom properly latches the back in place, and releases it. The CRF knob moves the lens-board and the split-lenses within the viewfinder. The aperture blades move smoothly. The shutter speeds on the Synchro-Compur shutter seem to work fine at 1/60th of a second and faster; below that, they are sluggish (again, just as one would expect from a camera that hasn’t been used in 60 or more years). The bellows look to be light-tight. The glass appears to be clean and undamaged. Even the case is in very nice shape, other than some minor edge wear, and some surface wear to the strap. If you are looking for a unique, high-quality 35mm camera with a CRF, that fits into a pocket, I think the Vitessa is a great choice. And if you are looking for an excellent example of a Vitessa from the original owner — well, here you go!
