Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5 F

{"overview":"The Rolleiflex 3.5 F is a twin-lens reflex (TLR) medium-format camera made by Franke & Heidecke in Germany, introduced in 1958 and shooting 6×6cm frames on 120 roll film. The spread is wide because condition, cosmetics and meter function drive what a body sells for — clean, working examples sit toward the top of that range, while tired bodies with hazy lenses or dead meters drag the lower end. As of 2026 the model remains one of the more consistently traded Rollei TLRs, and its value holds up well when the Planar or Xenotar taking lens is clear and the shutter speeds are accurate.","buying_guide":"Inspect the taking lens for separation, fungus and haze, check all shutter speeds (especially the slow ones) and confirm the film transport and frame counter reset cleanly. The selenium meter on many surviving examples is weak or dead — this is common and not always economic to repair, so buyers often price accordingly and meter externally.
