Rollei Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 1)
The Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 1) is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Rollei in West Germany, taking 6×6cm images on 120 roll film. Introduced in the mid-1950s, it sat in Rollei's mainstream TLR line and added EVS (Exposure Value System) coupling between shutter speed and aperture rings.
Auction data for this specific Type 1 variant is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result from 2021 sold for £124, which gives an indicative reference rather than a reliable median for today's market. Because the figure is wholesale (a hammer price excluding commission), retail dealer asking prices in 2026 typically sit higher, and condition — particularly of the taking lens, shutter and focusing screen — drives most of the price spread on what a clean example sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 1) worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence available, a hammer price of around £124 has been recorded, though clean, fully-working examples can command more at retail.
How much does a Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 1) sell for at auction?
The single tracked UK hammer result is £124 from 2021; with so few data points, any current price should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market value.
What should I check before buying one?
Prioritise shutter accuracy at slow speeds, taking-lens clarity, smooth film advance and the condition of the focusing screen, as these factors most affect both usability and resale price.
