The Voigtländer Bessamatic Deluxe is a 35mm leaf-shutter SLR introduced in the early 1960s as an updated version of the original Bessamatic. It uses the Deckel (DKL) bayonet mount for interchangeable lenses and carries a built-in selenium meter, with the Deluxe designation denoting a meter readout visible inside the viewfinder. When new it was positioned as a premium alternative to focal-plane SLRs, pairing German leaf-shutter precision with coupled exposure metering.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Bessamatic Deluxe have ranged from about £80 to £110, with a median close to £100 — these are saleroom results and sit below what dealers typically ask at retail. Today the price a clean example sells for is closely tied to cosmetics, a working selenium meter and accurate shutter speeds, with rough bodies worth noticeably less. Overall the model's value in 2026 has held steady, trading in a narrow two-figure band rather than appreciating.
