What it is
{"overview":"The Voigtländer Vitessa (Type 125) is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Voigtländer in Germany during the 1950s. As of 2026, that wholesale, saleroom-level value reflects a modest collector market where condition of the bellows, shutter, and rangefinder optics drives what a clean example sells for; tatty bodies are worth considerably less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that the plunger advance cocks the shutter cleanly, and confirm the rangefinder patch is visible and aligned.

Questions
What affects the value of a Vitessa (Type 125)?
Condition is the main driver: intact bellows, an accurate shutter, and a clear rangefinder patch push prices toward the upper end, while haze, sticky shutters, or bellows pinholes drop the value sharply.
