Voigtlander& Sohn Superb

The Voigtländer Superb is a twin-lens reflex camera introduced in 1933, taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It was positioned as a premium German TLR with a distinctive coupled viewing lens that rotated to compensate for parallax at close focus.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Superb have clustered between roughly £120 and £190 over the last four years, with a long-run median around £160 across all recorded sales and an overall range of £46 to £240 once older and rougher examples are included. As of 2026, clean working bodies with an unclouded Skopar and a responsive shutter sit at the upper end of that band at saleroom level, while examples with haze, sticky shutters or cosmetic wear sell for noticeably less.
