Voigtländer Prominent model 1 with Ultron 50mm F2 lens in beautiful condition. ( comes with EV case and manual)

€450.00

 

Voigtländer Prominent   is a 35mm film interchangeable lens rangefinder camera, manufactured by Voigtländer & Sohn AG, Braunschweig, in former West Germany and produced between 1950-58.

Prominent I is one of the best mechanically and optically design rangefinder with interchangeable lens system camera, the first of this type and has a unique appearance.

The Prominent was introduced 1950 as a counterpart to the famous Leica and Contax cameras featuring astonishing new technical details. It was the first range finder camera with leaf shutter and interchangeable lenses. Though producing the same picture quality being a lot less expensive than her counterparts, the Prominent never got popular with the experts: it neither offered a great range of lenses nor did it have that special ‘feeling’ of a Leica ore a Contax

It had a very special and unique reflex-housing part and turrit finder as accessories. Prominent was the lowest priced of the German Top Cameras and the most intelligent system. It was highest scope with less equipment, and didn’d touch the buyers. Now almost forgotten. The public was not ready for such a product. It needed some optics knowledge! Today we can state that its basis is still ahead of general top products
