Voigtlander& Sohn Vitessa (Type 125)

The Voigtländer Vitessa (Type 125) is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Voigtländer in Germany during the 1950s. It belongs to the folding Vitessa line, distinguished by its plunger-style film advance and barn-door front cover.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Vitessa (Type 125) have sat in a narrow £70–£110 band across the small sample of sales recorded, with a midpoint near £90. 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.
