Voigtlander Ultramatic image by Howard Somerville (Image rights)

This leaf-shuttered 35mm SLR was an impressive piece of technology from Voigtländer, considering its 1962 introduction date. It offered shutter-priority autoexposure, set by its large selenium meter cell, with aperture and shutter speed indicated in the viewfinder. Unusually among its peers, its reflex mirror returns automatically (if not quite "instantly") after exposure.
