Welta Kamera-werke Superfekta
The Welta Superfekta is a folding medium-format rollfilm camera made by the Dresden-based Welta Kamera-Werke. It was introduced in the 1930s as a higher-specification folder aimed at enthusiast users of the period.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Superfekta have spanned roughly £190–£560, with the three recorded sales producing a median near £330. The most recent result, from October 2025, sold for £189 at saleroom level, so today's value for a typical example sits toward the lower end of that range, while earlier Christie's results show what exceptional examples have fetched in the past.
