Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8 GX Expression
The Rolleiflex 2.8 GX Expression is a medium-format 6x6 twin-lens reflex camera made by Rollei, produced as a late-production limited edition of the 2.8 GX line. It uses 120 roll film and was positioned at the top of Rollei's TLR range when new.
Sales data for the 2.8 GX Expression is thin, with a single UK auction hammer result of £2,500 in late 2024 — a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a dealer retail price. On that limited evidence the camera sells for around £2,500 today, though the small sample means the true value range is hard to pin down and condition, completeness of box and papers, and limited-edition provenance all influence what an example is worth.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
