Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 C (Automat 2.8C)

{"overview":"The Rolleiflex 2.8 C, sometimes catalogued as the Automat 2.8C, is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke and introduced in 1952. As of 2026, what a 2.8 C is worth at saleroom level is heavily condition-dependent: clean, fully-working bodies with clear taking lenses sell for the upper end of that band, while examples with haze, sticky shutters, or meter issues typically fetch less.","buying_guide":"Before buying, check the shutter speeds (particularly the slow speeds), inspect the taking and viewing lenses for haze, fungus and separation, and confirm the film transport and frame counter reset correctly — the Automat mechanism is a common point of failure.
