Galileo Optical Condor I

The Galileo Optical Condor I is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced in Italy in the post-war era. It was marketed as a precision-made compact viewfinder camera positioned against contemporary European rivals of the late 1940s and early 1950s.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Condor I have sat in the £44–£56 range, with a median around £50 — these are saleroom results, excluding commission. As of 2026 the model remains a thinly traded collector item, so what a Condor I sells for today is strongly tied to cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and rangefinder are functional.
