Voigtlander& Sohn Vitomatic IIa

The Voigtländer Vitomatic IIa is a 35mm viewfinder camera from the Vitomatic series, built in Germany and aimed at the mid-range amateur market when introduced in the early 1960s. It featured a coupled selenium meter and a coincident-image rangefinder for focusing.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Vitomatic IIa have been modest, with the two recorded sales falling between £50 and £81 and a median around £66. As of 2026, what a Vitomatic IIa is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the selenium meter is still responsive, since these figures reflect wholesale hammer results rather than retail dealer pricing.
