Proposed merge: Ultramatic
I propose merging the Ultramatic article into this article for the Voigtländer Bessamatic and renaming this article to Voigtländer Bessamatic and Ultramatic. My reasoning is this:
 * 1) The Ultramatic can be regarded as a development of the Bessamatic and does not constitute a separate camera line that would require an entire article.
 * 2) The current Ultramatic article is written for the Ultramatic CS, the second model of the Ultramatic line which is even more of a niche topic than the Ultramatic line itself.

The distinguishing features of the Ultramatic can be added to this (Bessamatic) article.
 * The designer's name (Walter Swarofsky) can be added to this (Bessamatic) article.
 * The unique handling of the Ultramatic as discussed in the current (Ultramatic) article (aperture and shutter speed rings coaxial with the lens mount) can be added to this (Bessamatic) article.
 * The lens opinions can be left out, as they are unreferenced and subjective.
 * The "exposure delay" is curious terminology and will require more research to integrate. Is it a reference to the shutter lag or a typo of the flash sync speed (as a leaf-shutter camera, it should synchronize at all shutter speeds, including the top speed of $1/undefined$ sec.
