Rollei Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport
The Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport is a twin-lens reflex camera from Rollei using 127 roll film to produce 4x4cm square negatives. It sits within the smaller-format branch of the Rolleiflex TLR line, positioned beneath the better-known 6x6 Rolleiflex models.
Sales data for this model is thin, with only two recorded UK auction hammer results — £573 in 2004 and £600 in 2005 — giving a narrow range of roughly £570–£600 at saleroom level. With so few datapoints, what a Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport is worth today depends heavily on cosmetic condition and shutter function, and any current valuation should be treated as indicative rather than firm.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport worth at UK auction?
The two recorded hammer prices sit between £573 and £600, so a clean working example has previously sold for around that level, though the sample size is very small.
How much does a Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport sell for today?
Recent UK auction evidence is limited, but historical hammer results in the high-£500s suggest a similar order of magnitude for comparable condition examples in 2026, subject to cosmetics and shutter accuracy.
What film does the Rolleiflex 4x4 Sport use?
It uses 127 roll film and produces 4x4cm square negatives, which is a key factor in its current price and usability.
