Rollei Rolleicord II (IIc / Model 4 / Model K3-542)
The Rolleicord II is a twin-lens reflex medium-format camera made by Franke & Heidecke, shooting 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It sat below the Rolleiflex in Rollei's TLR range, offering the same body format at a lower price point when new, and was produced in several sub-variants including the IIc (Model 4 / K3-542).
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleicord II have sold for between roughly £19 and £88, with a median around £30 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail dealer prices. As of 2026, this places the camera among the more affordable vintage TLRs, though the range is wide: cosmetically tidy examples with clean glass and a working shutter are worth considerably more than untested bodies, which is where the lower end of the price band sits.
