Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 GX Edition '1929-1989' (60 Years)
The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX Edition '1929–1989' is a commemorative 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex produced by Rollei to mark 60 years of the Rolleiflex TLR line. Based on the 2.8 GX platform with a Planar taking lens, it was sold as a limited collector's edition rather than a working press tool, which shapes both its price and its demand today.
At recent UK auction, hammer results for this edition have spanned roughly £1,600 to £4,000, with a median near £1,900 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than dealer retail. Condition and completeness of the commemorative packaging drive most of the spread, and in today's market clean, boxed examples sit at the upper end while user-grade bodies are what sell for the lower figures.
