Plasmat Gmbh Roland

The Plasmat Roland is a German folding rollfilm camera produced by Plasmat GmbH of Berlin in the 1930s. It was a relatively small-run product aimed at enthusiast photographers and is now encountered mainly as a collector's item rather than a user camera.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Plasmat Roland have sat between roughly £900 and £1,700, with a median around £1,100 based on a small set of saleroom results. As of 2026 the model trades infrequently, so a single clean example appearing at auction can move the going rate noticeably, and condition of the bellows, shutter and lens has a strong bearing on what any given body sells for.
