What it is
{"overview":"The Voigtländer VSL 3-E is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera from the brand's later lineage of SLR bodies. With just one data point, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value, and condition, working shutter and a clean viewfinder will move what a body sells for in either direction.","buying_guide":"As with most older 35mm SLRs, inspect the shutter at all speeds, check the meter response if fitted, and look for fungus or haze in any bundled lens.
