Remember the days when almost everything you bought was made of good, solid materials and made to last for years and years?

Well, this camera here is just one such item from those years!

We are offering you here the chance to buy the very epitome of precision West German engineering -- it is none other than the famous Voigtlander Vitessa!

Before we describe the camera in detail to you, read what a professional has to say about this beauty:

"It's quite rare for me to be surprised by anything the photographic world can throw at me. Having been involved in the field for well over 40 years, you could say that I have seen it, done it, bought the T-shirt, etc! I originally started in photography when I was a wee young man, and the cameras I used were mainly box type roll film types. It was while I was working in my first job as a general assistant in a studio that I came across a real gem of a camera, which my employer had just purchased. It was a German Voigtlander Vitessa, and soon as I had it in my hand, I knew I had to have one! But it was to be many years from then, as my meagre wages could not stretch that far. Fast forward to about 2 years ago, when I finally was able to buy one from a camera dealer in Chicago. And although I paid well over £200, in my opinion it was the best buy of my life. I use the camera all the time, even when on shooting trips, as my digicams more than likely almost always let me down. And the results from this camera? Nothing short of spectacular! If you get the chance to buy one, jump at the chance!"

What more of a recommendation can we give about this camera!

We always receive many, many requests asking if we have any of these cameras for sale, but the truth is that these cameras are getting quite rare now, and those enthusiasts who have them, tend to keep them rather than sell them off, so NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to own one of these precision items!

This model is the top of the range and has the ability to outperform cameras even today!

The whole camera has been designed with longevity in mind, with all parts manufactured from heavy metal, with lashings of chrome.

Looking at the design profile, it looks more like a ground-hugging sports car than a camera -- just look at the folded size!

It was designed with speed in mind, hence the name Vitessa. And once you get used to using it, it is indeed very fast to use, as you both wind the film and cock the shutter with one button and focus and fire with the other hand.

A true beauty, this camera is your gateway into the hallowed ranks of high class photography.

If you have always wanted to try your hand at film photography using vintage cameras,this is one camera you can hone your talents on, and the price will not shock you!

The camera is in very good condition for it's age with no damage. The Voigtlander name is emblazoned  very nicely on the front.

The lens is the legendary Color Skopar and is completely free of fungus or any other mark.

This is the lens that is head above all others!

All the speeds work and apertures are fine. The rangefinder alignment is perfect, too. Just to prove it to you, here's a photo we took recently with the camera >>>

We have checked this camera out thoroughly in our own workshop and all the mechanical linkages operate as they should -- we have come across many cameras like this, where the large plunger doesn't lock and other problems as well, but with this one you can buy with peace of mind!

The only very minor detail with this camera is that the film rewind lever on the underside is a bit loose when in the parked position -- it is held in place with a bit of Blu-Tack, but this does not affect the workings of the camera at all. You cannot even see the Blu-Tack in the picture of the bottom of the camera below.

These cameras are so good at capturing high quality photographs, that we have one ourselves which has been regularly used for over 15 years!

If you are familiar with vintage cameras, you will know that most of them usually have dents on the corners etc, but this one is free of any dings, a rare thing bearing in  mind the age of the camera.

We have added an extensive amount of photos of this lovely camera below so you can see exactly what you are buying >>>

Collectors are buying up these fast and they are becoming a bit scarce, so secure it for yourself NOW.

As is legendary now, we are offering a FREE FILM with this camera, so you really have no excuse not go for an early morning walk and try and capture those moody, misty scenes around your neighbourhood AND keep yourself fit and healthy at the same time -- what could be better!

This really is a beautiful vintage camera, which you will feel joy to own!  

So go ahead and bid with confidence. Good luck!
