Except for the thumb lever on the top instead of a winding trigger on the bottom, the VI L was the same as the VI T. The VI L was 5 mm lower in height than the VI T, making it more portable and easier to handle. The film advance lever on top proved to be popular and the production and sales of the VI L exceeded that of the VI T.

In the classic camera market, the VI L is highly sought after as a historical and high-quality camera.
