Welta Kamera-werke Weltini

The Weltini is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera produced by Welta Kamera-Werke of Germany, introduced in the 1930s. It used a self-erecting strut-folding bed design and was positioned as a compact precision camera for the 35mm format alongside contemporaries such as the Kodak Retina.

At UK auction the Weltini is a thinly traded model: recorded hammer results sit between roughly £31 and £76, with a midpoint near £54. Today in 2026 the wider price you might pay a dealer for a clean, working example will be higher, but saleroom-level values for what a Weltini sells for remain modest, and condition (bellows, shutter, rangefinder accuracy) drives most of the spread.
