Rollei 35RF
The Rollei 35 RF is a 35mm rangefinder camera with a Leica M-compatible bayonet lens mount, introduced by Rollei in the early 2000s. It was positioned as a compact, mechanically focused alternative for users wanting an M-mount body without buying into Leica's own range.
Evidence in the UK saleroom is thin: the single recorded hammer result we hold is £500 in November 2024, so any guide to what a Rollei 35 RF is worth today should be treated as indicative rather than settled. At auction-hammer level — wholesale prices that exclude buyer's and seller's commission — clean, working bodies appear to sell for around the £500 mark, but values can move sharply with condition, included finder, and whether an original box is present.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
