Thanks! Very good to see you explaining the Vito so well. EV belongs to a different era. The camera was not meant for occasional use by complete amateurs. Too expensive. Actually, EV is a brilliant system. It gives you the absolute amount of light and, if coupled, makes it fault proof when using faster or slower speeds or changing the f stop. I think that it is wise not to have a handle for winding back. In practice people are in a hurry and tend to exert power on the handle. Don't forget that the handle has a lever effect, putting m ore pressure on the axis for the spool. It's a choice. I go for longevity and simplicity, at the expense for ease and speed.
I have Voigtländer Vitomatic 1a camera, which is very similar to this one. The difference is that Vitomatic has a lightmeter needle in the viewfinder. I think these Voigtländers are very well though cameras. One nice little feature is that small little support pin under the lens that stops the camera tipping over if you want to put it on a flat surface for taking pictures. I would say the only drawback with these Voigtländers that they rather heavy cameras for their size. Very nice video again. Keep them coming.
I like your videos. Sometimes I buy an old, simple and cheap camera to check what photos it takes. My favorites for simple, nice cameras are all KODAK VR 35 models. Beautiful shape of the camera from the 80s and great photo quality. I currently have SMENA I and VI on hand. I want to compare the quality of their photos with the Zeiss Ikon Continette. I envy the multitude of cameras you have tested, it's great experience. I'm waiting for the next videos. Greetings from Warsaw.
This video is terrific. Thank you. My daughter is very keen on photography so I bought her a Voigtländer Vito BL. It is actually rather different from the one you demonstrate in this video. On the top, at the right, there is a circular dial with various settings, which is synced to the light meter. I wondered if you'd encountered this, presumably later, model. I would be most grateful if you advise us about how to set the film speed. We've put in a roll of Fujifilm colour 200. I think I've figured it out but your counsel would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and again thank you for the videos.

Useful information!
Thank you very much for all your great work 📸
I have a Vito BL with a "BEWI Automat" Lightmeter and the camera makes great pictures too.
