Voigtlander& Sohn Vitessa N
The Voigtländer Vitessa N is a 35mm film camera from the German maker Voigtländer. It sits within the Vitessa family of compact viewfinder cameras aimed at the amateur enthusiast market of its era.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Vitessa N have sat in a narrow £60–£110 band across the two recorded sales, with a median near £86. Today this places it firmly in the budget collector tier, and as these are saleroom wholesale results rather than dealer retail, tidy working examples offered through specialist shops typically sell for more than the figures shown here.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
