Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 B (Automat 2.8B)

The Rolleiflex 2.8 B (Automat 2.8B) is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera taking 6x6 cm exposures on 120 roll film, produced by Rollei in the early 1950s. It was positioned as the faster-aperture variant in the Rolleiflex Automat line, aimed at professional and advanced amateur photographers.

At UK auction the 2.8 B is a scarce model, and the limited hammer record shows wholesale results of £1,100 to £1,300, giving a median around £1,200 on the two sales logged. Today these are tightly condition-dependent prices achieved at saleroom level before commission, and examples with clean taking lenses and accurate shutters tend to command the upper end while hazed or sluggish bodies sell for less.
