I got it in 1965 when I was 14

My grandfather gave it to my dad and he gave it to me when he got his
Contarex bulls eye.
I used it for 7 years till I got my Nikon F2.
I shot this with it

Lead poisoning victims.
I was going door to door with a Social Worker on the south side of Chicago
in 1968.

Nice image from a nice camera. I've a few Voigtlanders too, but not a Vito. 
I've a Contessa, a four Perkeos, a Bessa 66 and three Bessa 6x9s. The only 
problem is I don't use them much at the moment. Have to change that......
