Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 E3

The Rolleiflex 2.8 E3 is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It sits within the post-war Rolleiflex 2.8 line introduced in the 1950s, positioned as a professional-grade TLR when new.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the 2.8 E3 have ranged from around £620 to £1,300, with only a small number of recorded sales bracketing that span. As of 2026, what a clean example sells for is heavily condition-driven: working shutters, clear taking lens glass, and an intact meter all push value toward the upper end of that range, while cosmetically tired bodies tend to settle nearer the lower figure.
