Voigtlander& Sohn Perkeo

The Voigtländer Perkeo is a folding medium-format camera that uses 120 roll film, produced by Voigtländer in the mid-twentieth century. The Perkeo name covered a compact line of everyday folders aimed at amateur photographers looking for a pocketable alternative to larger medium-format bodies.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Perkeo have clustered in the £80–£140 range, with a median close to £126 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. A 2004 result of £500 now looks like an outlier, and in today's market the Perkeo sells for considerably less, with condition of the bellows, shutter and lens driving most of the price variation.
