Voigtlander& Sohn Bessa III 667
The Voigtländer Bessa III 667 is a medium-format folding rangefinder camera that takes 120/220 roll film and offers selectable 6x6 and 6x7 frame formats via an internal mask. It was a high-end specialist tool aimed at serious medium-format users seeking a portable folder, positioned at the premium end of the rollfilm market when new.
Sales data is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £1,875 in January 2024 is the only reference point available, so a meaningful price range cannot be quoted today. Because this is a wholesale saleroom result rather than a dealer asking price, retail values for clean examples in 2026 typically sit higher, and what a Bessa III 667 sells for at auction is highly condition-sensitive given how few change hands.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Voigtländer Bessa III 667 worth at UK auction?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price in our data is £1,875 from January 2024; with just one sale on file, this should be treated as a single data point rather than a reliable market value.
How much does a Bessa III 667 sell for today?
There is insufficient recent auction data to quote a current price range, but the lone 2024 hammer result of £1,875 indicates the camera trades at the upper end of the medium-format folder market.
Why is the price so high compared with older folders?
The Bessa III 667 is a modern, low-volume medium-format folder with a dual 6x6/6x7 format capability, and scarcity combined with continued demand from medium-format shooters supports its value.
