Rollei Rolleiflex Automat (MX-sync.) (Type 1)

The Rolleiflex Automat (MX-sync.) Type 1 is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera made by Franke & Heidecke, shooting 6x6 negatives on 120 roll film. The MX designation refers to its flash synchronisation, which supports both bulb (M) and electronic (X) flash. It was introduced in the early 1950s as a professional-grade TLR.

At UK auction, hammer prices for this model have recently ranged from around £80 to £190, with a median near £150 — wholesale saleroom levels that exclude buyer's and seller's commission. As of 2026, what a Rolleiflex Automat MX is worth is heavily condition-dependent: clean, working examples with clear taking lenses sell for more than shutters showing sticky slow speeds or hazy glass. The sample of recent verified sales is small, so individual results can swing the range.
