Manufactured in the early 1980s in collaboration with Balda, the Voigtländer Vito CS is an ultra-compact engineering marvel that stands as one of the smallest 35mm film cameras ever made. Designed to compete directly with the iconic Minox 35 series, it features a unique folding clamshell design that completely seals the optics when closed. Unlike the base Vito C model, the CS variant adds an integrated electronic self-timer. Equipped with a razor-sharp Color-Skopar 38mm lens, this camera delivers incredible contrast and micro-detail, making it a favorite "stealth" camera for street photographers and editorial lookbooks.

Condition:

Excellent A well-maintained tool that shows light, honest signs of use. This includes minor cosmetic scuffs on the edges or a natural softening of the grip, but it remains aesthetically sharp and fully ready for daily work.

Package Includes: Camera + strap
