Its Color-Skopar lens is known for excellent sharpness and classic rendering, while the folding construction allows the camera to remain surprisingly compact when closed. This example is fully working and is particularly attractive thanks to its very clean condition, original leather case and instruction booklet. The Vitessa with Color-Skopar was introduced around 1957.
