Rollei Magic II

The Rollei Magic II is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera using 120 roll film. It sat in the lower tier of Rollei's TLR range, offering simplified operation aimed at casual users rather than the professional Rolleiflex line.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Magic II have ranged from about £56 to £280, with a median close to £150 — these are saleroom results before buyer's premium, not dealer retail. As of 2026, what a Magic II is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the shutter and meter are working; clean, functional examples sit toward the upper end of that range.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Rollei Magic II sell for?

Recent UK auction hammer prices have fallen between roughly £56 and £280, with a median around £150 depending on condition and working order.

What is a Rollei Magic II worth today?

In today's market the value of a Magic II at auction is typically £70–£280; clean examples with a working shutter and responsive meter sit toward the top of that band, while cosmetically tired bodies sell for less.

Is the Rollei Magic II a good buyer's TLR?

It is a cheaper entry into the Rollei TLR family than a Rolleiflex, but its simplified controls and ageing selenium meter mean most buyers looking for a working everyday TLR pay a small premium for a serviced example rather than the lowest-price auction lot.
