Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5F Planar

The Rolleiflex 3.5F Planar is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke, fitted with a Carl Zeiss Planar 75mm f/3.5 taking lens. Introduced in 1958, it sat at the top of Rollei's professional TLR line and used 120 roll film, with a coupled exposure meter on the viewing hood.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 3.5F Planar have ranged from about £180 to £1,100, with a median around £400 across the sales on file. Most examples changing hands since 2019 have cleared between £330 and £520 at saleroom level, and as of 2026 clean, working bodies with matching meter and a clear Planar continue to sell for a premium over cosmetically tired ones — remember these are wholesale hammer figures, not retail asking prices.
