Rollei Rolleiflex SL 35 E
The Rolleiflex SL 35 E is a 35mm SLR from Rollei, part of the SL 35 line of interchangeable-lens cameras introduced in the late 1970s. It was positioned as an enthusiast body when new.
Sales data for the SL 35 E is thin: a single 2024 UK auction hammer result of £106 is the only reference point we have, so today's value sits around that figure rather than across a defined range. Because this is a wholesale saleroom price, retail asking prices from dealers can run higher, and condition and included lens will swing what an SL 35 E sells for at any given sale.
