The Vito and Vitomatic, Vitoret, and Vito Automatic were several related lines of 35 mm compact viewfinder and rangefinder cameras made by Voigtländer from the 1940s through the early 1970s, equipped with leaf shutters, similar in concept to and marketed against the competing Kodak Retina cameras manufactured by Kodak.

[5] The IIa has one top-deck knob (the other Vito cameras with Roman numerals have two) and can be identified by its enlarged viewfinder window; it shares the Color-Skopar lens with the earlier II.

[7] The Minox 35 was developed by Karl-Heinz Lange while Minox was owned by Rollei; when Rollei sold the Voigtländer brand in 1981, Lange moved to Balda, where he designed the P&S Vito,[8] which also was sold under additional brand names, including the Balda CA 35 and Revue 35XE.

[9] The lettered Vito camera models eschewed the folding mechanism in favor of a rigid, fixed lens, trading some portability for simplified operation.

[6][11] C models were equipped with Lanthar or Color-Skopar lenses (both 50 mm f/2.8); there are some variations in the color of the bezel around the meter, rangefinder, and viewfinder window.

[15][16] The final model was developed by Rollei and sold as the VF 35 F (1981) with an integrated, pop-up electronic flash unit.

[17] Towards the end of Vito B production, Voigtländer began releasing the Vitomatic line, which simplified the controls by adding match-needle metering with a combined shutter speed/aperture selector ring and scale focusing,[18] although manual aperture, shutter speed, and focusing distance selection are still possible.

Early Vitomatic (I/II) cameras were equipped with a Prontor SLK-V leaf shutter (minimum speed 1⁄300 s) and the 50 mm f/2.8 Color-Skopar lens;[22] the improved Ia/IIa shortened the minimum speed to 1⁄500 s. In addition, the IIa was optionally available with the Ultron, and as previously noted, the IIIb and IIICS were fitted with the Ultron as standard.

[24] The Vitoret line includes manual-exposure viewfinder and rangefinder cameras[25] with a limited range of selectable shutter speeds (in some cases, 1⁄125, 1⁄60, or 1⁄30 sec + B;[26] later models added a 1⁄300 s setting)[27] and scale focusing marks.

[28] The Vito, Vitessa, and Vitomatic names were revived in the 1990s for a line of automatic focus point-and-shoot cameras, many with zoom lenses.
