...I couldnt justify buying a new camera for 20 years because the quality of
the shots from the German camera was unbelievable. I know you other Olympus
users will snigger, but the shots were more "alive" and"magical" than any
Olympus lens...
When I worked in a camera shop in the '60s the 50mm f2.8 Color Skopar of the
Voigtländer Vito models was extremely well regarded. When, in the midst of
the gloom of last winter I had a sudden urge for more German glass, brown
leather and shiny chrome, I remembered that lens and bought a Vitomatic IIa
(the last of the real Vito line) as a companion to my Retina IIIc, its
compatriot.
