Voigtländer Vitoflex CA prototype

a highly interesting discovery from the history of Voigtländer - the third known working prototype of Vitoflex CA, the camera has been developed as a cheaper alternative to the VSL-3, without manual speed dial, no exposure correction dial etc., the offered prototype bears no name (except for the Voigtländer logo) and no serial number, some parts -like the shutter speed dial - are still unfinished, a silver-finished Vitoflex CA can be found in Prochnow 'Voigtländer Report 2' on page 22-569, incl. Color-Ultron 1.8/50mm no.2331859
