Olympus Six I
The Olympus Six is a folding medium-format camera that takes 6×6 cm exposures on 120 roll film. It belongs to Olympus's earliest line of folding rollfilm cameras introduced in the 1940s, positioned at the time as a compact bellows camera for amateur use.
With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result on file — £63 in 1999 — the Olympus Six I has too thin a sales record to quote a meaningful current value or price range today. Buyers asking what an Olympus Six I is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as a historical wholesale data point rather than a guide to what the camera sells for now at saleroom level.
