Love the early Vito B's. Got a couple and various accessories, voigtlander range finders and lens hoods. The results from that Colour Skopar are surprising as you say. Prefer the f3.5 to the f2.8 to be honest. There is the circle and triangle marks on the focus ring that can be used for zone focussing if the aperture is f5.6 or greater.
Im fortunate enough to own the same model of Vito B as you, with the EV markings aswell. What a beautiful camera to shoot with, I found mine at a car boot sale for £20 and the guy didnt know what he had. It came in the original leather case with the cold shoe mountable voigtlander rangefinder accessory. I always wanted a Leica iiiF but this camera with the lens hood, rangefinder and some little extras have definitely made me change my mind. Happy shooting!
Thank you so much for sharing this video, I just picked up a Vito B and I love it. Your review definitely helped. Thanks again and keep posting those great reviews. Cheers!

Don't need film in to test, can just manually turn the cog inside
