Voigtlander& Sohn Bessamatic CS
The Voigtländer Bessamatic CS is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR with interchangeable lenses on the Deckel bayonet mount, produced by Voigtländer in West Germany during the 1960s. It sits in the Bessamatic line as a coupled-meter version aimed at advanced amateurs.
Today the Bessamatic CS is a thinly traded model at saleroom level, with the only logged UK auction hammer result reaching £300 for a complete outfit; this is wholesale pricing and excludes commission. With so little public data, what a Bessamatic CS is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether a working selenium meter and matching Deckel-mount lens are included.
