Voigtlander& Sohn Ultramatic CS
The Voigtländer Ultramatic CS is a 35mm SLR introduced in the early 1960s, produced by Voigtländer & Sohn of Braunschweig. It was positioned as a higher-specification body in the Ultramatic line, offering through-the-lens metering at a time when that feature was still being adopted across the SLR market.
At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Ultramatic CS have sat in a modest band: the three recorded saleroom results run from £95 to £150, with a median around £110. As of today the model is not a high-value collectable, and what an example sells for at auction depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the meter and shutter are still working — the wholesale hammer figures quoted here exclude buyer's premium.
