Voigtlander& Sohn Vitessa (Type 133)
The Voigtländer Vitessa (Type 133) is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Voigtländer & Sohn. It belongs to the folding-bellows Vitessa series introduced in the early 1950s, a compact viewfinder/rangefinder design aimed at the enthusiast 35mm market of that period.
Auction data for the Vitessa (Type 133) is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £90 from 2018 is the only data point available, so a meaningful price range cannot yet be drawn. As of 2026, condition of the bellows, plunger mechanism and rangefinder optics will dominate what any individual example is worth at saleroom level, and buyers should treat the £90 figure as indicative rather than a reliable median.
