Voigtlander& Sohn Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7
The Voigtländer Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7 is an early twentieth-century stereo plate camera taking paired exposures on 45x107mm plates, the standard small stereo format of the period. It was sold as a hand-held stereo instrument with a reflex-style viewing arrangement, positioned for enthusiast stereoscopic photography rather than the mass snapshot market.
At recent UK auction the Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7 has sold in a fairly tight £140–£230 band on hammer prices, with a median around £200 — these are wholesale saleroom results and do not include buyer's premium. Today in 2026 the value is driven by cosmetic condition, completeness of the original leather case and plate holders, and whether both shutters still fire; examples missing accessories typically sell for what the lower end of that range suggests. As with most pre-war stereo gear the market is thin, so individual results can swing either side of what the camera is otherwise worth.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Voigtländer Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7 worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices put the value between roughly £140 and £230, with a median around £200 for a working example with its case.
How much does a Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7 sell for at auction?
The three most recent tracked UK sales were £144, £200 and £233 at the hammer, so £150–£230 is a reasonable expectation for a complete camera in presentable condition.
What affects the price of a Stereflektoskop most?
Shutter function on both sides, clear lenses, intact bellows and the presence of original plate holders and case are the main factors; missing accessories push the price toward the lower end of the range.
Is the Stereflektoskop 4.5x10.7 still usable?
Yes, provided the shutters and bellows are sound, 45x107mm plate holders can still be loaded with cut film, though sourcing the holders themselves is often the limiting factor.
