Certo Dollina III
The Certo Dollina III is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera produced in Germany, part of the Dollina range that Certo introduced in the 1930s. It was a compact, bellows-folding design aimed at the enthusiast 35mm market of its era.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result, the Dollina III's value today is thinly evidenced: one example sold for £75 in 2022. At saleroom level the price a Dollina III sells for will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter and bellows integrity, so treat £75 as an indicative reference point rather than a firm market price in 2026.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
