Gatto Sonne V

The Gatto Sonne V is a vintage exposure meter / photographic accessory associated with mid-twentieth-century photography. It surfaces in the UK collector market through specialist Leitz-related auctions rather than mainstream camera sales.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Sonne V have ranged from £650 to £1,700, with only two recorded results the median sits between these figures. Because the sample is very small and spans nearly two decades, today's value is highly dependent on condition, completeness and the strength of the saleroom on the day, and a clean working example can still sell for a four-figure sum in 2026.
