Rollei Rolleicord V

The Rolleicord V is a twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke, introduced in 1954. It shoots 6x6 frames on 120 roll film and was positioned as the more affordable companion to the Rolleiflex, aimed at amateurs who wanted medium-format quality without the top-line price.

At recent UK auction, Rolleicord V hammer prices have mostly sat in the £50–£170 range, with a median around £75 based on the last four recorded sales — wholesale saleroom levels before buyer's premium, not retail. A 2021 result of £174 shows what a clean, fully working example can fetch, while tired bodies with sticky shutters or fogged viewfinders sell for well under £100. In 2026 the camera remains firmly in the entry-level TLR bracket, and condition is the single biggest driver of what one is worth today.
