Voigtlander Vito B Camera HELP

[rachelmccann]

I'm brand new to photography and know nothing about film cameras. My grandfather gave me a Voigtlander Vito B camera. On the lens it says Color-Skopar 1:3.5/50 and PRONTO. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what any of this means or how to work/get/use film. There was no manual with it, just the case. I really would like to be able to use/figure out this camera, if it is usable and if I can figure it out. If you know anything about how to use it/what all that means please help. Thank you!!!

Color-skopar is just the name of the lens 1:3.5 means the maximum aperture is F3.5 and the 50 means it is a 50mm lens. It is very easy to use but you will need a handheld light meter
This will help you google is very easy to use

The Vito B has a very good 4 element lens. I started my slide photography with one.
