Leidolf Lordomat C35
The Leidolf Lordomat C35 is a West German 35mm viewfinder camera from the post-war era, sold as a mid-market rangefinder-style compact when new.
UK auction hammer results for the Lordomat C35 are modest, with recorded sales between £43 and £88 and a median around £66 — these are wholesale saleroom prices, not retail. Values today in 2026 remain condition-sensitive, and clean working examples tend to price toward the upper end of that range.
