Rollei Rolleicord Va
The Rolleicord Va is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke, using 120 roll film. It sits in the Rolleicord line, positioned as the more affordable alternative to the Rolleiflex TLRs of the same era, and was introduced in the late 1950s.
In today's UK auction market, hammer prices for the Rolleicord Va have ranged from about £60 to £190 across recent saleroom results, with a median value near £140. Condition drives most of the spread: clean, working bodies with clear viewing screens and smooth shutters sell for the upper end of that range, while examples with haze, sticky shutter speeds or cosmetic wear are worth considerably less.
