Buying a
VITOMAIC IIa
|
Buying a good Vitomatic IIa should prove to be an easy task. The Vitomatic
IIa was a popular camera that was very well made. They may also be one of
the most under priced cameras in this group with prices hovering around
$60.00 for the 2.8 Color Skopar model. The 2.0 Ultron model is much rarer
and a good one should fetch $250.00+
- Shutter frozen due to lack of use and oil build up
- Focus stiff due to helicoid grease oxidizing
- Various range/viewfinder problems
- Misalignment
- Clouding
- De-silvering (A REAL DEAL BREAKER)
- Fungus and dirt in the lens (May be serviceable varies from camera
to camera)
- Sticky advance due to deteriorated lubricants.
All these problems except for deterioration in the range/viewfinder are
straight forward and a competent repairman should have no problem putting
the camera in tip top shape.
Like all cameras don't even consider impact, water or corrosion damaged
units. Also cosmetic parts are very difficult to find and must be sourced
from other cameras or fabricated from scratch.
Try to buy the absolute best one you can find.....Great ones are out
there
