Rollei Rolleicord

The Rollei Rolleicord is a medium-format 6x6 twin-lens reflex camera made by the German manufacturer Franke & Heidecke, positioned as the more affordable sibling to the Rolleiflex line. Rolleicord bodies were produced across several decades of the 20th century and remain common on the UK second-hand market today.

At UK auction, hammer prices for Rolleicord bodies have been modest, with recorded sales at £44, £50 and £81 — a range of roughly £44–£81 and a median around £50. Because these are saleroom hammer results rather than dealer retail, cosmetically clean and fully working examples typically sell for more once tested and serviced; what a Rolleicord is worth in 2026 depends heavily on specific variant, lens and shutter condition.
