Rollei Rolleiflex 2.8E

The Rolleiflex 2.8E is a twin-lens reflex medium format camera using 120 roll film to produce 6x6cm square negatives. Introduced in 1956, it sat in the upper tier of Rollei's TLR range, fitted with an f/2.8 taking lens and aimed at professional and advanced amateur photographers.

At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex 2.8E have ranged from around £210 to £650, with a median near £550 — these are saleroom wholesale levels rather than dealer retail. Condition is the dominant factor in what a 2.8E sells for today: clean, fully working bodies with bright focusing screens and clear taking lenses sit at the upper end of that band in 2026, while examples with haze, slow shutters or cosmetic wear trade well below.
