Voigtlander& Sohn VSL 1

The Voigtländer VSL 1 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera sold under the Voigtländer & Sohn name. It was introduced during the 1970s as part of a range aimed at the enthusiast SLR market.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the VSL 1 have ranged from £81 to £300, with only two recorded results those figures also bracket the median. With so few data points, what a VSL 1 is worth today depends heavily on condition, completeness and whether a working lens is included, and the saleroom range above reflects wholesale levels before buyer's premium.

Recent auction evidence is limited, but the most recent UK hammer price on record is £81, suggesting clean working bodies trade at modest sums rather than collector premiums.

At the lower end of the recorded range it offers an inexpensive route into a 35mm SLR, provided the shutter, meter and seals check out on inspection.
