Rollei Heidoscop (45x107mm)

The Rollei Heidoscop in 45x107mm format is a stereo camera made by Franke & Heidecke, the Braunschweig firm that later became Rollei. It takes paired exposures on glass plates through twin matched taking lenses, with a central reflex finder lens between them, and was aimed at the amateur stereo photographer when new.

At recent UK auction the Heidoscop in 45x107mm has a hammer-price range of roughly £94 to £400, with a median of about £160 across the five recorded sales. As of 2026 the value sits firmly in the mid-three-figures for clean, working examples, and saleroom results show the price is highly condition-sensitive: shutters that still fire accurately and original cases sell for noticeably more than cosmetically tired bodies with sticky blinds.
