Rollei Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 2)
The Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 2) is a 6x6 medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Rollei in West Germany during the 1950s. It uses 120 roll film and was positioned as a professional-grade TLR for serious amateurs and working photographers when new.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex Automat MX-EVS (Type 2) have ranged from around £70 to £150, with limited sample size making a precise median difficult to fix. As of 2026, what this camera is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether the taking lens is haze-free, so cleaner examples sell for noticeably more than user-grade bodies.
