Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5 A

The Rolleiflex 3.5 A is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Franke & Heidecke in Germany, taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It sits in the postwar Rolleiflex line of f/3.5 taking-lens TLRs aimed at working professionals and advanced amateurs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex 3.5 A have typically fallen in the £100–£150 range, with a median around £140 across 2024–2025 saleroom results. As of 2026 the model sells for less than cleaner, later Rolleiflex variants are worth, and condition — particularly shutter accuracy, lens clarity and the state of the focus screen — drives most of the spread in value.
