Voigtlander& Sohn Prominentll
The Voigtländer Prominent II is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Voigtländer & Sohn, introduced in the 1950s as a successor to the original Prominent. It was positioned as a higher-end German rangefinder body intended to take Voigtländer's own line of interchangeable lenses.
Sales data for the Prominent II is thin, so any value guidance is indicative rather than firm. The single UK auction-hammer result on file, from 2019, sold for £456, which gives a rough benchmark for what a presentable example has fetched at saleroom level rather than a current retail price. Today, condition, lens fitted and working rangefinder all materially affect what one of these is worth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Voigtländer Prominent II worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Prominent II sold for £456 at hammer in 2019; with only one data point, treat that as a rough guide to value rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Voigtländer Prominent II sell for at UK auction?
The one recorded UK auction-hammer sale on file achieved £456, but with so few results the price a given example sells for will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, mechanical health and the lens included.
Is the Voigtländer Prominent II a good buy at this price?
At around the £456 level seen at auction, the camera appeals mainly to collectors of Voigtländer rangefinders; the proprietary lens mount limits its practical use, so value is closely tied to having a clean, working body with a usable lens.
