Rollei Rolleiflex 3.5F

The Rolleiflex 3.5F is a twin-lens reflex (TLR) medium format camera producing 6×6cm negatives on 120 roll film, fitted with an f/3.5 taking lens. Introduced by Rollei in the late 1950s, it sat at the upper end of the company's TLR range and was offered with either a Zeiss Planar or Schneider Xenotar taking lens.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex 3.5F have typically run from around £250 to £900 over the last two years, with a median close to £620 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. As of 2026, clean, working bodies with matched cases and prism finders sit at the upper end of that range, while examples with haze, fungus or sticky shutters sell for noticeably less. Condition, serial-number era and accessory completeness drive most of the variance in what a 3.5F is worth today.
