What it is
{"overview":"The Rolleiflex 2.8 E is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera shooting 6x6 on 120 roll film, introduced by Franke & Heidecke in the mid-1950s. The spread is wide because condition, cosmetics and meter function drive price heavily at saleroom level, and an exceptional or collector-grade example can sell for several times what a tired user-grade camera fetches.","buying_guide":"Check the taking lens for haze, separation and cleaning marks, confirm the shutter fires accurately across all speeds, and verify the film transport and frame counter reset cleanly.

Questions
How much does a Rolleiflex 2.8 E sell for at auction?
Recent UK hammer prices have clustered in the mid-hundreds, though clean, fully working bodies and collector-grade cameras have reached into four figures.
Why do Rolleiflex 2.8 E prices vary so much?
Price is highly condition-sensitive: lens clarity, shutter accuracy, meter function and cosmetic wear each move the value significantly, which is why the saleroom range is so wide.
