How rare are these Vitomatic IIa cameras ?
I have one and on its last day trip with a roll of slide film the results
were hard to tell from those taken with Leica glass. What's more, the built
in light meter was quite accurate.

I think Joel has either the Perkeo I or II.
My dad's Voigtlander was the rare Vito IIa. That tiny camera had a
lens which was very good. He claims that it was the sharpest camera he
has ever had--and he's had some really nice cameras and lenses through
the years. I always loved the folding mechanism. It was a thing of
engineering beauty. Alas, I was too foolish in those days to
appreciate OLD cameras. Old cameras were for poor people...
