Kochmann Reflex Korelle II
The Reflex Korelle II is a medium-format single-lens reflex camera made by the German manufacturer Kochmann, taking 6×6 cm exposures on 120 roll film. Introduced in the 1930s, it sat among the early waist-level roll-film SLRs aimed at amateur and advanced photographers before the dominance of the twin-lens reflex format.
Auction data for the Reflex Korelle II is thin, so the price picture in 2026 remains tentative. The one tracked UK saleroom result, from September 2023, saw a hammer price of £138 — a wholesale level rather than a retail asking figure, and a useful anchor for what a complete example tends to be worth today.
