This video is a review of the mostly forgotten Voigtländer Prominent camera. First conceived in the early 1950s as a direct competitor to the Contax and various Leica models, the Prominent boasted a small but quality line of lenses and robust design.
It ultimately fell flat against more advanced cameras like the Leica M3 and Nikon S3, but nonetheless the Prominent deserves recognition for what it is, Voigländer's premier 35mm interchangeable lens rangefinder.
To demonstrate this camera's function and capabilities, I loaded it up with some Fujicolor C200 and brought it out for a short snowshoeing jaunt in Lassen National Park. I elected to use two fantastic lenses with the Prominent while hiking around: the 35mm f/3.5 Skoparon and the 50mm f/2 Ultron.
