Rollei Rolleicord I

The Rolleicord I is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera introduced by Franke & Heidecke in 1933 as a lower-priced alternative to the Rolleiflex line. It takes 120 roll film and was aimed at amateur photographers who wanted the TLR format without the cost of the professional model.

At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the Rolleicord I have been modest, with recorded sales sitting in a £20–£30 range and a median around £30. These are saleroom wholesale results, so what a Rolleicord I is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function and completeness of the leatherette and viewing hood; clean, fully working examples sell for more than project bodies.
