Goerz Minicord III

The Goerz Minicord III is a subminiature twin-lens reflex camera using 16mm film, aimed at the compact-camera market of its era. It was produced by the Austrian branch of Goerz and positioned as a precision pocketable TLR rather than a mass-market snapshot camera.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Minicord III have sat between roughly £160 and £300, with a midpoint near £230 based on a small set of saleroom results. Because only a handful of examples have traded, values today are highly condition-sensitive and a clean, working body with intact viewing hood tends to sell for more than a cosmetically tired one.
