Deluxe version of the VT. The camera back had a safety latch to prevent accidental opening. The new rewind crank made film rewind quick and easy. The camera was also compatible with dedicated film magazines. The price of the fast 50mm f/1.2 lens was reduced by 35 percent thanks to better production efficiency. With this lens, the camera could be priced at 97,000 yen. The gold-finish viewfinder prism was later replaced by a silvered one.
