Voigtlander& Sohn Vitomatic III CS
The Voigtländer Vitomatic III CS is a 35mm viewfinder camera from the Vitomatic line, a series produced by Voigtländer for the amateur market. It belongs to the fixed-lens rangefinder family of compact 35mm cameras.
Sales data for the Vitomatic III CS is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from 2018 recorded the camera selling for £180, which sets the only available wholesale reference point. With just one data point, today's value depends heavily on cosmetic and mechanical condition, and a buyer should not assume this single figure represents a reliable price band in 2026.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Voigtländer Vitomatic III CS worth today?
Based on the only recorded UK auction hammer result, a Vitomatic III CS sold for £180, but with only one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Vitomatic III CS sell for at auction?
The single verified UK saleroom result on file is £180 hammer; clean, fully working examples may achieve more, while non-functional bodies typically sell for less.
Is the Vitomatic III CS a good buyer's camera?
It can be, provided the shutter, meter and viewfinder all check out — these are the components most likely to determine whether the price you pay represents fair value.
