My first Voigtlander folder was a Vito II which is delightful camera. When I discovered that Voightlander did a 120 version, I wanted one of those as well. Finally, I have found one I can afford (I am a cheapskate - I do not pay more than £20 for any camera and do not like going as high as £10). This one cost be £5.00 - has a Vaskar lens and is a bit rough but that is half the fun. All the linkages in the folding mechanism now work and I can open and close the camera without borrowing a body-builder. One defect - quite a bad one for a camera - is that the bellows leak like a sieve. That is going to have to wait until I am feeling patient.

We had a Vito - can't fully recall the model - back in the 1960s. It took decent photos. As regards your latest acquisition I seem to recall that Peter W wrote a book on repairing bellows.
