Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 E2 Planar
The Rolleiflex 2.8 E2 is a medium format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Rollei, taking 6x6cm images on 120 roll film. Fitted with a Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 taking lens, it sits within the 2.8E series of professional-grade TLRs introduced in the late 1950s.
Sales data for the 2.8 E2 Planar is thin: a single tracked UK auction hammer result in March 2023 saw an example sell for £475, which gives only an indicative reference point rather than a reliable median. As of today in 2026, what a Rolleiflex 2.8 E2 Planar is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and the presence of original accessories, and clean working bodies typically command a premium over user-grade examples.
