Voigtländer Bessamatic with ZOOMAR 36-82mm f2.8 lens + extras

A very nice clean Voigtländer outfit. The collectable Zoomar lens was the world's first SLR zoom lens, and has a constant f2.8 aperture. It was first introduced in 1958.
The Bessamatic shows a good view in the viewfinder and the meter reacts well to light. The shutter is working but speeds 1/8 and slower stick open. Film wind is smooth.
The Zoomar lens zooms and focuses smoothly. The glass is clear inside but has a minor scratch on the front element; aperture works correctly.
Complete with a nice clean original case, a Toshiba filter, Zoomar instruction book and a Voigtländer depth-of-field calculator.
