Default Greetings from London

Hi Everyone.

About 18 months ago I briefly dived into film for a short time following the purchase of a Voigtlander Vito B and Nikon FE. The recent BBC documentary about Vivian Maier has re-ignited my interest.

Cheers,

Austin

Hi and welcome Austin. Is the Vito B the mid to late 1950s model? I ask because I recall my older cousin getting a Voigtlander in, I think, 1956 and it may have been the Vito B.

Seemed to cost a fortune in those days and was all singing and dancing compared with his previous pre-war Kodak 120 folder which I then got.

In those days it was all colour slides and it took some beauties. Anyway enough of my rambling now

Mike
