Rollei Rolleiflex SL 26

The Rolleiflex SL 26 is a 126 cartridge-format SLR introduced by Rollei in the late 1960s. It used the Instamatic-style 126 film cartridge in a single-lens-reflex body, positioning it as a higher-end alternative to the simpler 126 viewfinder cameras that dominated the format.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Rolleiflex SL 26 have been modest, with recorded saleroom results of £60 in 2023 and £88 in 2025 — a working range of roughly £60–£88 and a midpoint near £74. Today the SL 26 is a niche collector item rather than a user camera, and what it is worth at auction depends heavily on completeness and the presence of original accessories, since the obsolete 126 format limits practical demand.
