Steinheil Casca II

The Steinheil Casca II is a 35mm rangefinder camera from the late 1940s, produced in the immediate post-war period. It was positioned as a higher-specification successor to the Casca I, featuring an interchangeable-lens mount and a combined rangefinder/viewfinder window.

At recent UK auction, Casca II examples have hammered in the £510–£800 range with a median near £700, so this is roughly what a Casca II is worth today at saleroom level before buyer's premium. Prices are condition-sensitive, and examples offered with a matching Steinheil lens tend to sell for the upper end of that band.
