There was a lot of debate over the differences between Japanese and German lenses particularly in the 1950's and 1960's, mainly to do with sharpness, contrast and colour rendition. I think my Vito B would still work, not a lot to go wrong as it has always been looked after and stored well. I also found a small box full of old light meters which were used with my manual cameras and I have replied to in another thread on the subject.

That's a lovely modern camera right there Steve
I have a 1930 Nagel Pupille here with a 4.5cm F2 Jos Schneider&Co Xenon lens....
This one was used aboard the HMAS Quiberon while transporting Japanese POWs during WWII.
