What it is

{"overview":"The Voigtländer Bessamatic M is a 35mm SLR from the German maker Voigtländer, part of the Bessamatic family of leaf-shutter SLRs introduced in the late 1950s and produced through the 1960s. With no recent comparables, today's value is difficult to pin down at saleroom level, and a clean working example would likely sell for a similar two-figure to low three-figure sum at recent UK auction. Selenium meter cells, where fitted, often read low or fail entirely with age.

Questions

Is the Bessamatic M a good buy as a user camera?

It can be, but only if the shutter, aperture and lens are all clean and functional, since service options for these leaf-shutter SLRs are scarce.
