What it is

The Rectaflex Rotor is a 35mm SLR camera from the Italian maker Rectaflex. It is a specialist variant of the standard Rectaflex body, distinguished by its rotating three-lens turret head designed to allow rapid switching between fixed focal lengths.

Because production was limited, parts and service support are effectively non-existent and any work must come from specialist restorers. Inspect the rotating turret for play, smooth indexing and light leaks at the interface, check that the focal-plane shutter fires cleanly across all speeds, and confirm that any lenses fitted to the turret are correct and unmolested, as incomplete examples are worth substantially less.

Questions

Why is the Rectaflex Rotor's price so high compared with a standard Rectaflex?

The Rotor is a low-production turret variant, and its scarcity together with the complexity of the rotating multi-lens head drives its value well above that of a plain Rectaflex body.
