Voigtlander& Sohn Vito III

The Voigtländer Vito III is a 35mm folding camera introduced by Voigtländer in the early 1950s. It was positioned at the top of the Vito folder line, combining a coupled rangefinder with a fast standard lens in a compact self-erecting body.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Vito III have spanned roughly £210–£580, with a median around £220 based on a small sample of saleroom results. A 1998 sale reached £580, while more recent examples in 2005 and 2022 sold for £210–£220, suggesting the model's value at wholesale level has softened since the late 1990s and is now condition-led.
