Rollei Rolleicord Vb

The Rolleicord Vb is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex made by Rollei, and it sits in the more affordable Rolleicord line that ran alongside the professional Rolleiflex series. Introduced in the mid-1970s as the final Rolleicord variant, it took 120 roll film and was positioned as a lower-cost alternative to the contemporary Rolleiflex TLRs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleicord Vb have clustered between about £25 and £150, with a median around £120 for clean, working examples in 2025. Condition drives most of the spread: today a tatty body with a hazy lens sells for well under £50, while a tidy outfit with case and caps is worth closer to the upper end of that range. Older saleroom results from 2008 reached £260–£360, so the camera's value in the current market is noticeably softer than it was fifteen years ago.

Is the Rolleicord Vb a good buy at its current price?

At current values it is one of the cheaper routes into a 6x6 Rollei TLR, but budget for a shutter service when costing a purchase, since slow-speed lag is common.
