Welta Kamera-werke Weltur (4.5x6)
The Welta Weltur is a folding rangefinder camera produced by the German maker Welta Kamera-Werke for medium-format roll film. The 4.5x6 variant exposes 16 frames on 120 film and was offered as a compact alternative to the 6x6 and 6x9 versions in the Weltur range.
With only a single UK auction record on file — a 2005 hammer of £175 at saleroom level — there is no meaningful price range to quote, and that figure reflects wholesale auction conditions rather than dealer retail. Buyers asking what a Weltur (4.5x6) is worth today in 2026 should treat that lone result as indicative only, since values for folding rangefinders of this era are highly condition-sensitive and thinly traded.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Welta Weltur (4.5x6) worth?
The single UK auction record on file shows a hammer price of £175, but with so little data the current value of a clean working example is uncertain.
How much does a Welta Weltur (4.5x6) sell for at auction?
Only one verified UK sale is recorded, at £175 hammer, so a reliable typical price cannot be given without more recent results.
Is the Weltur (4.5x6) rarer than the 6x6 or 6x9 versions?
The 4.5x6 format Weltur appears less frequently in the auction market than the larger-format siblings, which limits the comparative pricing data available.
