Gamma III

The Gamma III is a 35mm rangefinder camera from the Italian maker Gamma, produced in Rome in the post-war era. It sat in the small-production European rangefinder segment, built in modest numbers and aimed at enthusiasts drawn to Leica-style bodies.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Gamma III have ranged from about £450 to £700, on a very thin record of sales. Because results are drawn from wholesale saleroom data rather than dealer retail, today's collector should expect cosmetic condition and shutter function to swing value significantly, and complete, working examples tend to price at the upper end of what the model sells for.
