[andycrookes]

right, i bought my stunning vito B and jus need a few pointers about it!

firstly, need to no whether when i take a photo and wind it on, does it require just one slide or two or three etc? and does it click in to place ready for the next exposure

secondly, when i wind the film onto the spool does it need t be done in a dark room? and same for the end of the film?

With 35mm, the film comes wound onto a spool that is enclosed in a light-tight case (it's called a film cassette in this case). The film gets wound onto the take-up spool in the cameral like normal. When it's finished, you press a little button or move a little lever (to release the sprockets inside the camera) and then rewind the film back into the cassette. When it's wound back, you can take the cassette out and get it processed. In other words, the take-up spool stays with the camera - you don't swap them over like with 120 film.
