Questions
What affects the price of a Vitessa L the most?
Shutter accuracy, lens clarity and a functioning selenium meter are the biggest factors; cameras missing any of these tend to sell at the bottom of the range.
Is the Vitessa L a rangefinder camera?
Yes — it is a 35mm folding camera with a coupled rangefinder and a leaf shutter, with the "L" variant adding a selenium light meter.
