Goerz Roll-Tenax (Rollfilm-Tenax) (6.5x11)
The Goerz Roll-Tenax (also catalogued as Rollfilm-Tenax) in the 6.5x11 cm format is an early 20th-century rollfilm folding camera produced by the German optical maker C.P. Goerz. It was offered as a compact-folding alternative to the plate-back Tenax line, aimed at amateur photographers wanting a larger-than-postcard negative on rollfilm.
Sales data for the 6.5x11 Roll-Tenax is extremely thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result is £115 from 2004, so there is no current median or range to cite for today's market. Because that figure is more than two decades old and represents a single saleroom result rather than a retail or dealer asking price, it should be treated as indicative only when judging what a comparable example might be worth in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Goerz Roll-Tenax (6.5x11) worth today?
The only sale in our records is a £115 UK auction hammer price from 2004, so there is not enough recent data to give a reliable current value; condition, completeness and lens variant would all materially change the price.
How much does a Goerz Rollfilm-Tenax sell for at auction?
With just one recorded saleroom result at £115, we cannot quote a meaningful range or median price; sellers and buyers should treat any single figure as indicative rather than a market benchmark.
Is the Goerz Roll-Tenax a rollfilm or plate camera?
As the name indicates, the Roll-Tenax (Rollfilm-Tenax) is the rollfilm version of Goerz's Tenax folding camera family, in this case taking the 6.5x11 cm format.
