The Voigtländer CSR, produced from 1968 to 1971, is a 35mm camera that stands out for its innovative coupled CDS (cadmium sulfide) light meter. Unlike the selenium meters commonly used in earlier cameras, the CDS meter is battery-powered, providing more reliable and consistent performance over time.

Key Features:

• CDS Light Meter: The coupled light meter is powered by a battery, ensuring longevity and accuracy compared to older selenium meters. However, since the original mercury batteries are no longer produced, modern equivalents must be used.
• Design & Build: Compact and well-crafted, the CSR offers Voigtländer’s signature blend of precision engineering and functionality.

Specifications:

• Production Years: 1968–1971
• Metering: Coupled CDS light meter (battery-powered)
